Several European countries, including France, Spain, Ireland, and Norway, have announced their intention to recognize Palestine as a sovereign state. The article argues that such recognition disregards fundamental principles of international law, particularly those outlined in the Montevideo Convention, which defines the requirements for statehood. It contends that Palestine does not meet these requirements and that recognition could create a state that poses existential risks to Israel, especially if demilitarization agreements prove unenforceable or are later abrogated. The piece further warns that treaties made with non-state actors lack binding force and that any commitments to demilitarization could be lawfully revoked by a future Palestinian state under international legal doctrines. Ultimately, the article concludes that granting statehood to entities engaged in violence undermines both justice and the integrity of international law, urging the global community to adhere to established legal standards rather than political expediency.
