Abbas asks to set deadline for 'end of occupation'
- 9 years ago
Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas is renewing his calls on the UN Security Council to pass a resolution that will set "a date for the ending of the Israeli occupation of Palestinian lands and to provide international protection for Palestinians", as he put it.
The PA's permanent observer to the UN, Riyad Mansour, this week read a letter written by Abbas to the UN, in which the PA chairman expressed his regret over the lack of implementation of UN resolutions pertaining to the Palestinian people.
"The UN General Assembly, Security Council, Human Rights Council, various organizations and institutions of the United Nations, including the International Criminal Court, reached firm decisions in favor of the Palestinian cause, and we feel deep regret over the failure in the implementation of these decisions," Abbas wrote in his letter.
