Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas addressed a meeting of the UN Security Council Tuesday, urging the international body to recognize the state of Palestine, APA reports quoting Sputnik.
"We are determined to remain committed to the political and legal path, far from any violence, through political negotiations and dialogue which we have never rejected… We are ready to exchange territories with Israel, but on a small scale and within the framework of the bilateral agreement," Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said.
But Abbas said he would oppose any solutions that contradict Palestine's legitimacy as a country.
"I call upon members who have yet to recognize the state of Palestine to do so. In the future, we will intensify our efforts to achieve membership in the United Nations," Abbas stated.
Palestine is going to make stronger efforts to be recognized as a full member of the United Nations, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas told the UN Security Council. The Palestinian leader said recognition does not contradict negotiations in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
