JERUSALEM – Although the crisis over Israel’s naval interventions to defend its blockade of Gaza is gaining all the headlines around the world, something of far more historic importance is taking place in the Middle East. The Palestine National Authority is preparing to issue a unilateral declaration of independence, and it is taking concrete steps on the ground to make any such declaration viable.
发自耶路撒冷——虽然全世界媒体的头条都聚焦在了以色列为继续封锁加沙而进行的海上拦截行动上，但实际上中东地区还有某些更具历史意义的事件正在酝酿着。巴勒斯坦民族权力机构正准备拟定一份单方面的独立宣言，并一步一步地将这份文本付诸现实。
