Abbas at UN: Israel destroying two-state solution

Abbas tells the UN that Israel’s policy of settlement in the West Bank and East Jerusalem “will destroy whatever possibility is left of the two-state solution.”

He says Israel signed the 1994 Oslo Accords, which were “intended to end the occupation, to achieve independence of the State of Palestine in five years,” but adds that, “Israel renounced the agreement it signed and until now continues occupation and illegal settlements, which undermines two-state solution on the basis of 1967 borders.”

He asks: “Does Israel want one state?”
