Palestinian Minister Declares Future State Will Prioritize Women’s Rights and Legal Framework

In an exclusive interview with Euronews, Palestinian Foreign Minister Varsen Aghabekian-Shaheen articulated her vision for a future Palestinian state characterized by pluralism, gender equality, and a commitment to international law. As a Christian woman of Armenian descent, she emphasizes that women will hold a significant role in this envisioned society. Aghabekian-Shaheen expressed disappointment at the European Union’s inaction during the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the violence in the West Bank, stating that the world is witnessing tragic scenes where children suffer and die while awaiting essential medical care or food supplies.

Despite the dire circumstances following the Hamas terror attack on October 7, Aghabekian-Shaheen remains hopeful that a contiguous Palestinian state is achievable, with the Palestinian Authority (PA) governing both Gaza and the West Bank. She acknowledged the existence of corruption within the PA and the Palestinian Liberation Authority (PLA), but insists measures are being taken to root it out. She mentioned that corruption is a product of occupation, which complicates governance and funding. A continuous reform agenda is underway to address these issues, emphasizing the need for organizations to adhere to governing rules and regulations.

However, the prospect of realizing a Palestinian state appears increasingly bleak due to the ongoing violence and humanitarian crises in Gaza, along with the systemic expulsion of Palestinians from the West Bank. US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee has raised doubts about the two-state solution, arguing that Israel has historical claims to the West Bank. Instead of the recognized territories, he suggested that a potential Palestinian state might need to emerge from an existing Muslim country. This stance has met resistance from neighboring Arab nations, who oppose absorbing a large influx of Palestinians and continue to advocate for a two-state solution.

Aghabekian-Shaheen remains committed to the two-state framework, believing it is the only viable resolution to the ongoing conflict. She identifies Saudi Arabia and other Arab nations as crucial allies in pushing for the establishment of a Palestinian state. Before the recent escalation of violence, Saudi Arabia was close to normalizing relations with Israel, contingent upon progress towards Palestinian statehood. Aghabekian-Shaheen emphasized that Saudi Arabia’s support could be pivotal in fostering negotiations, especially after the comments made by former US President Donald Trump regarding Gaza and the displacement of Palestinians.

Furthermore, Aghabekian-Shaheen’s assertion that the region must address the humanitarian crisis highlights the urgency for international engagement. The discussions surrounding the two-state solution have gained renewed attention as Saudi Arabia and France are set to co-chair an international conference focused on this issue. The meeting aims to facilitate dialogue and potentially revitalize the stalled peace process, emphasizing the pressing need for a negotiated agreement between Israel and Palestine.

Despite overwhelming challenges, Aghabekian-Shaheen insists on maintaining hope for the establishment of a Palestinian state. She envisions a nation built on democratic principles where women’s rights are respected, and international treaties are upheld. Her optimistic outlook stands in stark contrast to the grim realities faced by Palestinians, but she believes that with sustained effort and international support, a peaceful resolution can be achieved.
