From Abbas to UN: Israel must cease settlement construction, executions
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePA President Mahmoud Abbas tells the UN General Assembly that the Palestinians have stuck to the agreements it has signed and calls on Israel to do the same in order to reach a peace deal.
“We have accepted premises of international law, made historical and immense sacrifices when the PLO accepted to establish State of Palestine on 1967 borders,” he says. “What more can be asked of us?”
He says that “Israel must reciprocate” with these measures, and cease settlement construction, collective punishment and extrajudicial executions.
