Abbas to UN: Current situation cannot continue

Abbas tells the UN that the PA is no longer willing to accept interim solutions to the conflict with Israel.

“We will never accept the humiliation of our people,” he says. “We will never accept temporary or interim institutions. We will seek to mobilize Arab and international efforts to achieve this end. We will not accept a continuation of the current situation.”
