Comments

Palestine is a failed state. Palestine has the resources to become self-sufficient, but that has not been a priority. Their main focus of Palestine has been to hate Israel. Ramallah, located in the West Bank, currently serves as the de facto administrative capital of the Palestinian Authority. Mahmoud Abbas has been the President of Palestine since January 2005.

The UN is running out of reasons to exist, so they continue to encourage the government in Palestine to mismanage the country, so the UN can subsidize Palestine. 

Palestine began as a UN Refugee Camp and over time became an Islamic Terror State under Yasser Arafat. On 15 November 1988, the Palestine Liberation Organization proclaimed the State of Palestine (SoP). Yasser Arafat, the Chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization, assumed the title "President of Palestine". 

The Abraham Accords Arab Countries should recruit and appoint the next President of Palestine, or decide to break up Palestine and apportion land to adjoining competent countries.
