Former Irish president Mary Robinson and former New Zealand prime minister Helen Clark have warned that the Palestinian territories face an existential threat, saying the possibility of their disappearance can no longer be ignored.
The two former leaders said the situation demands greater international attention and accountability. They argued that Israel has been allowed to act with what they described as impunity, and said that must end if there is to be any realistic protection for Palestinian land and rights.
Robinson’s remarks, highlighted in the report, frame the issue as more than a short-term political crisis. Instead, the warning points to a deeper concern that the Palestinian territories could be eroded to the point where their future status becomes impossible to sustain.
Clark joined that call for stronger action, underscoring the need for governments and international bodies to respond more forcefully. Their message adds to growing global alarm over the direction of the conflict and the long-term viability of the Palestinian territories.
