Western recognition of Palestine unlikely to alter Netanyahu’s stance : Analysis

Recognition by some Western countries of a Palestinian state won’t have a significant impact on the Israeli government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu or its conduct, a political analyst says.
“Will it change his [Netanyahu’s] calculus? Not at the moment. But I think he is beginning to feel the pressure, and I think Israel generally is beginning to feel the pressure,” Ori Goldberg told Al Jazeera from Tel Aviv.

Israel faces a paradox, Goldberg added. “It keeps going as though it has nothing to contain it or limit its efforts to carry out the genocide of the Palestinian people … On the other hand, circumstances are changing and they’re changing quite rapidly, not necessarily in terms of political results in the field, but in the sense that the Palestinian question is becoming a liability to existing leaders around the world, not just in Europe but in the US also.”
