I may be naive but why wouldn't a UN governed state not be in the best interest for all parties? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corpus_separatum_(Jerusalem)

The Mandate for Palestine was pretty much that and it utterly failed.

„UN governed state“ means occupation and foreign rule. What country wants to send soldiers and police to a country where both major populations will hate you.

Oh geeze, an United Nations governed state is an entirely different can of worms. Though one does wonder what difference there will be between that and just Israel considering the amount of influence they have on the UN.

The only real influence Israel has on the UN is the US veto, though. The UN regularly castigates Israel for its horrors.

United Nation members regular castigate Israel for its Horrors. Official action from the organization as a whole is almost zero. Also the unlimited and overwhelming veto is a massive amount of influence. Enough so that it makes the rest of the UN virtually irrelevant. Also something tells me if for some reason the US change its mind the UK would happily step in and fulfill that role.

... because the UN has very little power as a whole.

Meaning it'd be very ineffective at governing a nation particularly one with extreme special interests and extreme ethnic tension.

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

My point is only that Israel does not have much influence over the UN.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Except as I mentioned they have so much power as to make the rest of the UN basically inconsequential.
