Palestinians committed to seeking recognition of their state at the UN

The Palestinians have always ask the UN in September to recognize their state on 1967 borders but not proclaim it "unilaterally", said in Moscow Tuesday, May 24 an official of the Fatah party of President Mahmoud Abbas, ensuring that Russia There was favorable. "We go to the UN calling for the accession of the State of Palestine and its recognition on the 1967 borders, but we do not consider this as a unilateral action," said Azzam Al-Ahmad, head of file reconciliation with Hamas in Fatah.

The U.S. president, Barack Obama, voted for the first time on Thursday in favor of negotiations for a Palestinian state based on 1967 borders, but has opposed a dry end of inadmissibility to the draft of the Palestinians to seek recognition of that State at the UN in September. Drawing conclusions from the failure of negotiations with Israel, the Palestinians want to ask the Security Council to recognize their state on 1967 lines, left to return to the General Assembly, where the U.S.

would veto , as expected. In this case, they intend to invoke a resolution in 1950 authorizing the General Assembly to replace the Security Council when it is paralyzed by the veto of one permanent member. According to Mr. Ahmad, Russia - which together with the European Union, the United States and the UN the Quartet on the Middle East - has supported this initiative.

"The Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov confirmed Russia's support in this process during our meeting," he said. Abbas, president of the United Liberation Organization (PLO), was summoned Wednesday in Ramallah (West Bank) a meeting of the executive committee of the PLO in the wake of statements by Mr.

Obama. It must then participate Saturday in Qatar in a meeting of the Monitoring Committee of the Arab League to discuss the fallout from Bush's statements, especially on the border issue of the future State of Palestine. Delegates from Fatah and Hamas, which respectively control the autonomous areas in the West Bank and Gaza Strip signed in Moscow, the only member of the Quartet to maintain relations with Hamas, an "important statement", according to Mr.

Lavrov, on the implementation of their reconciliation agreement reached in Cairo.
