“We still maintain hope that your esteemed organization will be able to implement its resolutions demanding an end to the Israeli occupation of our territory and the realization of the independence of the fully sovereign State of Palestine, with East Jerusalem as its capital” Abbas said.
“Israel bears full responsibility, through its control over all the crossing points and dividing lines between the occupied West Bank and its surroundings, and for the deliberate spread of weapons, drugs, and criminal killings taking place in Arab cities inside Israel,” Abbas claimed.
“We will celebrate the independence of our State in Jerusalem, our eternal capital, the crown jewel and the flower of cities,” he added.
