​@@rian4104 because previously they were just following their American overlords. But now that practically the whole world is against US, Singapore can't continue to do the same.

Mahmoud Abbas does not have authority over Gaza. The Palestinians voted Hamas to the office. Palestinian Authority does not see eye to eye with Hamas. Abbas does not represent the Palestinians voice.

@@malgudidays3311 Absolutely. We need to be clear that Hamas was legitimately elected by the Palestinian people to govern them, and should be the official representative of the Palestinian people. The PA has done nothing useful for Palestinians. The side-lining of UN resolution after resolution with no concrete progess is wholly due to the PA's gross ineffectiveness. The PA allowed illegal Israeli settlements to be built all over the West Bank, to the point that they have ceded almost the entire sovereign Palestinian WB territory over to Israeli control. About 2 million WB Palestinians have been forced out to live in refugee tent cities in Jordan, where some have been living for decades, with no hope of ever returning to the WB, thanks to the PA. Hamas have resisted the illegal building of Israeli settlements in Gaza all these decades, keeping their sovereign territory intact. The PA has been accused of mi susi ng aid funds from the UN and international community, meant for all Palestinians, which Gazans never recive or receive very little of. The PA also has a known track record of cooperating with Israeli authorities and policies, at the expense, detriment and unlawful imprisonment of Palestinian citizens. What can the PA do now, when it has not achieved even a single step towards Palestinian autonomy, peace and security, for over 75 years? To align with the PA and shutting off dialogue with Hamas is to condone the PA's slackness and incompetence in governing the Palestinian people.

Heh! It will just get vetoed as usual, for the umpteenth time. Just like all UN resolutions on Palestine since 1948. The UN was created and is owned by the US, and the US is cont roll ed by IL.

@@malgudidays3311 thats is a scary part. They can have internal squabble and then one side decide to elect Hezbollah or Houthis to be their Gov. Then the whole cycle of attacking Israel start again.

If Palestine gets membership at UN then who would rule Palestine??? That's the Elephant in the Room.....it's just a Prelude to higher form of War.

I wish my countrymen and leaders are as level headed considering how they always react with emotions instead of acknowledging the fact that what Hamas did was terrorism and instead of denouncing it, they support such actions. Truly embarrassing and disheartening. Also, it is worth noting to all that, 2 wrongs doesn't make a right.

Go and find out the meaning of "taqiyya" which PA is using to deceive the world. Do you think PA renounce Oct 7 terrorism? Wise Singaporeans should not be unwise.

You need to know the truth, (unlike the Singapore minister who may know the truth but has to tell a different story because of Singaporeans). PA is no different from the Hamas, basically they have only one vision and one goal: annihilated Israel. Palestinian Authority President, Mahmoud Abbas vows the following: "If we are left with one penny, we will spend it on the families of the prisoners and martyrs." By vowing that , he is encouraging the killing of Jews and Israeli, and as many recognized this as a reward for terrorism. The Singapore minister cannot be so dumb as to not knowing this. This is the reason US is calling for a revitalized PA beside the corruption allegations against the PA. However, anyone who understands the Palestinian mindset would know what is the truth. Palestinians right from the beginning in 1948 refused to a two state solution. What they wanted was a Palestine state free of Jews, a Palestinian state to replace Israel!

Long live D4P elder brother across the causeway...hahaha 🤣

As a citizen of Singapore, I appreciate this openess. Singapore has a Muslim minority population that has deep concerns on this. Understanding our government's rationale is invaluable.

You're absolutely wrong. Hamas only govern gaza not entire Palestine, in fact hamas is very unpopular in west bank where majority of Palestinians are, even in gaza Hamas were democratically elected with 44% of the votes. note that this percentage is reflected within Gaza district as well, i.e. while Hamas are based in Gaza, the people of Gaza were not overwhelmingly Hamas supporters let alone the whole Nation of Palestine

Gaza and west bank different government la.

The ANC had the same status as Hamas in the 70s and 80s. They are now a mainstream party in South Africa. Grant people their freedom, and allow them to chart their own future. That’s not up to us to decide. No matter what government the people would choose, none would love Is… for what they have done to them over the past 75 years. This is why the U.S. and Is… do not include the Palestinian people in plans for the future-they do not plan for them to have a future.

The PLO, lead by Abbas, allows illegal settlements in the west bank, whereas, Hamas fights back.

Yes, however, human behavior in these circumstances is predictable. Palestinians are human. Every group in history subject to similar conditions reacted in the same way. When all peaceful means of gaining one’s freedom are blocked, this is what happens. The J..s did the same in G… the same occurred in Haitian Revolution, Turner Rebellion, etc. It’s regrettable, but all were predictable-and predicted at the time. Same for October 7. 75 years is a record. I reviewed the history, and cannot find a record where people were subject to such conditions for so long without major retaliation. The sad thing is that it was all preventable. If they were given their freedom, none of this would happen. What they have had to endure all this time, as the world turned their back on them, is astonishing.

Use some critical thinking, why try to appease Israel when they could just vote against it? If they voted against it you would have said the same thing.

Because the other ASEAN countries, except the Phillipines, don't take orders from America.

Striving for peace is not good enough for you?

Because Singapore is Israel’s strongest ally in Asia. Without the help of Israel at the founding of Singapore, Singapore may not exist today. The SAF is arguably the strongest military force in ASEAN today by training and equipment. Israel was instrumental in helping establish the SAF. Singapore is majority ethnic Chinese and thus Chinese culture is very much ingrained in the Singapore psyche, in this case the Chinese proverb, remember where the source of water you are drinking comes from, comes into play. To this day, the pioneers and current leaders of Singapore have not forgotten the help of Israel at the founding of Singapore when most of the world ignored Singapore. Publicly explaining why Singapore voted the way it did, is an act of diplomacy.

True. Also, records have proven that Israhell never abides with any resolutions. They tend to break them…

Hamas has to be out. They cannot still exist in Palestine.

This was def one of the better speeches I have heard, however it is still putting Israel above Palestine. He needs to add "any group in Israel that continues to deny Palestines existence have no place", also there are terrorist acts coming from both sides, not just Palestine.
