President Mahmoud Abbas said on Saturday that if the United Nations
fails to adopt a resolution affirming Palestinian statehood, the
Palestinian Authority will reassess its security cooperation with Israel
and seek membership in the International Criminal Court. UPI was there:
Speaking to Arab League foreign ministers at a meeting in
Cairo, Abbas also accused Israel of harboring an apartheid government
instead of working to advance the peace process.
“We will never recognize the Jewishness of the state of Israel,” Abbas was quoted as saying by Israel’s Channel 10, an apparent reference to Israel’s proposed Nationality Law.
During the meeting, Arab League foreign ministers agreed to present a
draft resolution to the United Nations Security Council setting a time
frame for the creation of a Palestinian state but did not indicate when
the resolution would be presented.
Abbas told the gathering that Palestinians were unable to continue
waiting while “Israel creates facts on the ground through the continued
building of settlements.”
