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.

Al Gore has history of climate predictions, statements proven false

Noted climate activist and former Vice President Al Gore, who made headlines this week after he claimed global warming was "boiling the oceans," has a history of making climate-related proclamations later proven to be false. During remarks made Wednesday at the World Economic Forum summit in Davos, Switzerland, Gore warned that continued carbon emissions into the atmosphere would destroy the planet and lead to widespread calamities. "We’re still putting 162 million tons [of greenhouse gas] into it every single day and the accumulated amount is now trapping as much extra heat as would be released by 600,000 Hiroshima-class atomic bombs exploding every single day on the earth," Gore said. "That’s what’s boiling the oceans, creating these atmospheric rivers, and the rain bombs, and sucking the moisture out of the land, and creating the droughts, and melting the ice and raising the sea level, and causing these waves of climate refugees." Gore then not
