Israel wants to maintain an ‘unsustainable’ status quo, Palestinian PM Shtayyeh says
"Now that somebody has proposed Israel to be an observer, we have heard so many rejections to this idea and the majority of the African countries don’t actually support that. I think that Israel needs to do a lot of work to come to trust of the international community, which has not been materialized yet. And therefore, the African countries have made their voice loud and clear that, under these circumstances, (there is) no way that Israel will be an observer state at the African Union," Shtayyeh told FRANCE 24 in an interview during the African Union summit in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia on February 5, 2022.
