RAMALLAH, Oct 3 (NNN-WAFA) – Palestinian President, Mahmoud Abbas, yesterday said, Israel’s rejection of the two-state solution will oblige the Palestinians to go for other political choices.
Abbas made the remarks, during a meeting held with representatives of Bethlehem and Hebron, at his office in the West Bank city of Ramallah.
According to report, Abbas told the representatives that Israel’s rejection of the two-state solution will “force us to go for other options.”
“We will ask for the implementation of the United Nations Security Council’s resolution, passed in 1947, or go to the one democratic state, on the land of historic Palestine in which, the full political and civil rights of the Palestinians are gained,” Abbas added.
Abbas called on the international community to help the Palestinians get their legitimate rights and pressure Israel to stop its policies against the Palestinians.
Israel occupied the West Bank and East Jerusalem, which are claimed by the Palestinians, in the 1967 Middle East war and has controlled them ever since.
