Abbas to UN: Make Israel accountable for seizing land

Abbas tells the UN that the Security Council has failed to take proper punitive measures against Israel for what he says is a land grab by the Jewish state, which is in violation of the UN’s 1947 Partition Plan.

“[T]he Security Council is not upholding its responsibilities to hold Israel accountable for its seizure of the territory allotted to the Palestinian state according to the partition resolution,” he says. “I appeal to you read this resolution once again.”
