| All rights belong to ANO "Tv-Novosti" (RT). Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas intends to address the UN next week for recognition of an independent Palestinian state within the borders of 1967. Israel refuses even to discuss the return to those borders and the division of Jerusalem. In light of this, RT spoke to the internationally recognized politician, award-winning scholar, executive committee member of the Palestine Liberation Organization, Dr. Hannan Ashrawi, who says that the United States continues to exempt Israel from international law, while Israel continues to commit war crimes. She also says that the UN recognition of a Palestinian state would bring the Palestinian question to the international community and force the US, Israel and other countries to abide by the UN international standards. - |
