Palestine Must Not Disappear By the Elders A statement by Mary Robinson, Graça Machel, Helen Clark and Hina Jilani following their visit to the Middle East, 11-16 July 2026. LONDON, Jul 20 2026 (IPS) - We have just concluded a visit to the West Bank, Israel, Jordan and Lebanon. From all that we have witnessed and heard, our inescapable conclusion is that the government of Prime Minister Netanyahu, and in particular Ministers Smotrich and Ben-Gvir, aim to make Palestine disappear physically, economically, culturally and politically. Yet other governments either are choosing not to see this or lack the will to take meaningful concerted action. https://www.ipsnews.net/2026/07/palestine-must-not-disappear/ Copyright © 2026 IPS-Inter Press Service.
