PA May Seek UN Resolution on Palestinian State
Senior Fatah member Mohammad Dahlan said Tuesday that the Palestinian Authority may seek a Security Council resolution to recognize the borders of the Palestinian state.
Dahlan added that all options were open at this time, including the possibility of a unilateral declaration of Palestinian independence.
An American veto in the Security Council would prove that the White House is uninterested in the two-state solution, he said, pledging to “continue to fight Netanyahu’s plans, politically and diplomatically.”
Dahlan’s remarks came as the Palestinian Authority government announced Tuesday evening that it is determined to continue the implementation of a plan aimed at establishing Palestinian state institutions.
The process will be undertaken in line with a document presented by Prime Minister Salam Fayyad about two months ago.
The PA announced that it continues to work on implementing the scheme, known as “Palestine: Ending the Occupation, Establishing the State.” The Palestinians said the plan will be implemented on the ground, without considering the various areas (A, B, and C) enforced on the Palestinians across the West Bank.
“We are continuing to build the state on all the land occupied in 1967,” the statement said, urging the international community to take urgent action and assume its responsibility for salvaging the peace process in face of the current impasse.
