Palestinian Authority to seek full membership in UN

Palestinian leaders want to obtain full membership in the United Nations (UN). They have also launched a new diplomatic campaign to get membership, which will start with a speech by the President of Palestine, Mahmoud Abbas, at the UN General Assembly on September 23.

Palestinian government spokesman Ibrahim Melhem said on Wednesday, “In the absence of a political path for the Palestinians to end the occupation, they have no choice but to resort to the United Nations to enhance the status of Palestine as a state.”

According to Fatah official Sabri Saidem, France encouraged the Palestinians to seek full membership in the UN.

In 2011, President Abbas submitted the application of Palestine for membership in the UN. UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation) admitted Palestine as a Member. According to Arab News, The United Nations granted Palestine non-member observer state status at a vote in the General Assembly in November 2012. During the voting process, 138 countries voted in favour, 9 voted against it, and 41 abstained.

Direct peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians, which were sponsored by the United States (US) in 2013, were stopped in 2014 because of the issues related to Jewish settlements in the West Bank. Palestine held the Israeli government responsible for the Jewish settlers’ practices in the West Bank.

Israeli authorities still occupy the West Bank. However, Palestinians want the occupied West Bank as part of their future independent state. Israel also claims Jerusalem as its capital, but the Palestinians claim East Jerusalem as the capital of a future Palestinian state. 

In March this year, Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammed Ishtaye said that Israel undermined any chances of establishing a Palestinian state. He also said that no solution will be achieved through negotiations.

Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett also said that his government would not hold any talks with the Palestinian President.

“Iraq is Utilizing What They Have Right Now”

Here’s something good that I want to share with what I read today. It’s about  how Iraq utilizes a decentralized arrangement of administration, the Gulf countries and their organizations can investigate such financial possibilities with different individual Iraqi governorates, directed by the national government. This can likewise make a sound rivalry among Iraqi governorates to offer better costs and more good arrangements with Gulf organizations, as the two sides advantage. For me, Iraq needs huge monetary and monetary support. Monetary guide bundles can just reduce some tension on the present moment. Aside from Iran, there is insignificant territorial interest in Iraq's private area. Tehran's interest in Iraq has not given remarkable monetary advantages, for the most part because of authorizations. Inlet countries ought to investigate Iraq as a feasible competitor for their business ventures, and they can even use Jordan as a middle person to shape a solid financial ternio...
