00:00 The League of Arab States at the United Nations said on Tuesday they are working on a request
00:04 to grant the State of Palestine permanent membership within the international organisation.
00:10 Palestinian Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Rijad Mansour, said that the
00:15 obstacle is in the Security Council, adding that they need to find a solution to that
00:19 obstacle and remove it from the path so that the State of Palestine assumes its rightful
00:24 place as a member state of the United Nations.
00:27 Mansour and other briefed journalists in New York added that the group asked for an open
00:33 meeting of the UNCS to discuss the war in Gaza this coming Friday.
00:39 He said a slew of meetings are scheduled this month and the group is enjoying momentum.
00:45 He stated that the three objectives include a ceasefire, humanitarian assistance and up
00:51 to scale and the stop of force transfers.
00:58 We had a very important and extensive meeting yesterday in which we discussed in depth the
01:07 strategy that we are putting in place for at least the next two to three months here
01:16 at the United Nations.
01:17 We will mobilise and try to get the maximum support that we can for the implementations
01:26 of the three objectives - ceasefire, humanitarian assistance up to scale and against the mass
01:33 force transfer - but also we will begin to mobilise around other issues which were adopted
01:44 in the Arab OIC summit in Riyadh a few months earlier.
01:51 Among these issues is to start mobilising for going to the Security Council with the
02:00 view that we believe that the State of Palestine, after changing its status in the year 2012
02:08 to an observer state, now it is high time to recognise and admit the State of Palestine
02:16 for membership.
