Arab League to Request U.N. Recognition of Palestinian State
|
[An Nahar] The Arab League
...an organization of Arabic-speaking states with 22 member countries and four observers. The League tries to achieve Arab consensus on issues, which usually leaves them doing nothing but a bit of grimacing and mustache cursing...
will submit to the United Nations
...what started out as a a diplomatic initiative, now trying to edge its way into legislative, judicial, and executive areas...
a request for recognition of a Paleostinian state, Secretary General Nabil al-Arabi said on Thursday in Doha.
The Arab peace initiative committee "has decided to submit a call to the member states of the United Nations to recognize a Paleostinian state," Arabi told a news conference after a meeting of the committee in the Qatari capital.
It would "move to present a request for full membership of a Paleostinian state in the General Assembly and the Security Council," Arabi added.
Paleostinian negotiator Saeb Erakat said the aim of the Doha meeting, which was attended by Paleostinian President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas
... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial...
and various Arab foreign ministers, was to "strengthen Arab support for obtaining U.N. membership for a Paleostinian state."
The plan for the Paleostinians to seek recognition from the U.N. is opposed by Israel, the United States and some European governments.
But peace negotiations between Israel and the Paleostinians are stalled, with the stalemate increasing Paleostinian determination to seek statehood via the U.N.
The Paleostinians say they will not return to the negotiating table without a freeze on settlement construction and clear parameters for new talks, including that any borders will be based on the lines that existed before the 1967 Six Day War, with mutually agreed land swaps.
But Israel has rejected any new settlement moratorium, and says setting preconditions for talks prejudges the substance of negotiations.
