If Israel and the US refuse to recognize the Palestinian state, would it even matter if literally every other country in Earth recognized them? As long as the infinite money and weapon spigot flows from the US, what’s the point?
It’s all pressure and politics, and that pressure can be applied via sanctions internationally when they are tied to that recognition.
You’re just asserting that this applies pressure, but this disregards that the US acts as a pressure release valve. It is impossible to pressure the 51st state. They will never have any trouble obtaining finance, weapons, equipment, electronics, fuel, food, or energy.
Until the US starts facing pressure there won’t be any effect on Israel.
Honestly I just stared the possible outcomes of recognition. That’s the end of my interest in the matter.
