Österreich sollte Palästina anerkennen
In Gastkommentar zeigt oiip Präsident Wolfgang Petritsch auf, dass dem US-Plan wichtige Details fehlen. Außerdem betont er, dass "die Anerkennung eines Staates etwas anderes ist als die Anerkennung seiner Machthaber"

Österreich sollte Palästina anerkennen
Donald Trumps Gaza-Friedensplan muss rasch konkretisiert werden. Dabei sollte man Lehren aus Bosnien und Afghanistan ziehen. Eine Anerkennung würde die Region stabilisieren und die Moderaten stärken
