Many people might be fooled by this huckster, but not the Tundra Tabloids. The Palestinian regime never intended to seek full UN membership, but to shift their status towards an upgraded status from which to torment the Israelis through endless lawsuits and litigation. They never wanted to be a sovereign state, right now, as long as the Jewish one is still viable, and will now use everything in their grasp to further try to delegitimize Israel at the international level.

Machiavelli was an amateur compared to the modern leftist advised Third Worlders.
FYI, Machiavelli believed in a Republican government and wrote his books while in internal exile after his city state was conquered (I believe it was one of the Borgias but am not sure), he was attempting to make money to live on by writing down what the politicians in Italy were then doing.
