I'd caution against considering a recognition by #France, #Britain, and #Canada a done deal yet.

All three countries have left their respective backdoors open, for copping out. There is no principled commitment.

Which demonstrates none of them is considering the recognition of the State of #Palestine as a #sovereign state the right thing to do, under all circumstances.

All three use a potential recognition as a threatening gesture towards #Israel. That is, France, Britain and Canada are openly portraying recognition as an evil, that can be "avoided" by Israel, under certain circumstances.

This is not a principled stand, but again the position of cowards who have failed Palestine for decades.

#Musk’s sway in #military affairs in Washington & beyond–through #Starlink’s dominance in #satellite #communications & #SpaceX’s clout in #space launches–has reached a dimension previously limited to #sovereign #governments, alarming some regulators & lawmakers. “Elon Musk’s current global dominance exemplifies the dangers of concentrated #power in unregulated domains,” Martha Lane Fox, a member of Britain’s upper house of parliament, said during a debate earlier this year.

“President #Trump & Secretary of #State #Rubio are once again making America less safe & less secure,”Sen #TimKaine (D-VA) said in a statement.
“This is one of the most ridiculous decisions that could possibly be made at a time when #China is increasing its diplomatic footprint around the world & establishing an overseas network of #military & #transportation bases, #Russia is continuing its years-long brutal assault of a #sovereign country, & the #MiddleEast is careening from crisis to crisis.”

'…and what that means for private entities subject to the “laws” and “lawful orders” of non-EU states, #EU Member States and EU institutions alike. It adds practical advice to such entities and a warning about the proposed "#Sovereign European #Cloud".' #StrategicAutonomy #DigitalSovereignty
