Twenty one Foreign Ministers have issued a joint statement echoing the United Nations' claim that Israel's settlement plans in the E1 area east of Jerusalem violate international law, though the statement does not specify which law is being referenced. The article argues that such construction is actually authorized under the 1922 League of Nations Mandate for Palestine and protected by article 80 of the United Nations Charter, suggesting that the United Nations itself is acting in breach of its own Charter by opposing these plans. The author recounts previous attempts to engage United Nations officials, including the Secretary-General, about these legal interpretations, but notes a consistent lack of response. The piece concludes by criticizing the ongoing silence from international leaders and highlights the recent passing of renowned Israeli cartoonist Yaakov Kirschen.
