Palestinian President Requests Statehood:
Palestinian President Abbas to put forth a historic Mahoud of applying to join the United Nations for an independent Palestinian state on Friday, transfer, Israel says that it is premature without direct negotiations, which deal with long-term safety issues.
Formal application - is seen as largely symbolic gesture, because an American veto is far from assured should be encouraged to vote in the Security Council - has applauded the composition of the Palestinian leader has brought the document in his speech on the podium 66 The annual session of the General Assembly.
It's time for a "Palestinian cause" to join the Arab spring in reshaping the Middle East, he said. "My people want to exercise their right to enjoy a normal life like the rest of humanity."
But Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, later, taking his turn to speak to the General Assembly, said the Palestinians are looking for a "state without peace," ignoring the important security concerns for Israel.
He said that the Palestinians are not only armed with their "hopes and dreams," Abbas said in his speech. For this, he added: "10000 Grad missiles and rockets from Iran, not to mention the flowing river of deadly weapons in Gaza."
"The Palestinians must first make peace with Israel, and therefore qualify for the state," he said, adding that peace will come through a two-state solution that recognizes Israel as a Jewish state.
If this happens, Israel "will be the first to" recognize a Palestinian state, the prime minister.
Representatives of the United Nations, the United States, Russia and the European Union - a group commonly known as the Quartet for the Middle East - has discussed the next request on Friday and issued a statement saying that the offer is now before the Security Council UN Council.
The group called for a "preparatory meeting" to be held in a month and intended to describe how peace negotiations between Israeli and Palestinian leaders could take place. Each side then would develop a comprehensive proposal on territory and security issues in the three months and "have made substantial progress in six months," the statement said.
The timing of an agreement not to exceed the end of 2012, against all expectations of immediate change in the region.
Security Council should meet on Monday to further discuss the issue.
Speech of Abbas, meanwhile, drew applause and chants of Palestinians waving flags that have seen the address on a big screen TV in a square in Ramallah.
Moments after the delivery of formal letters seeking full membership in the UN, Abbas said that Israel continues to thwart the peace and violate international law and called on the United Nations to take urgent action.
"We aspire to a role and seek greater and more effective United Nations to work together to achieve a just and comprehensive peace in our region, offering the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people legitimate national," said Palestinian leader.
His speech was closely watched throughout the Middle East. Hundreds of people gathered in Ramallah welcomed the news he had officially filed for joy, singing and dancing.
The demonstrations were held Friday in New York and in cities of the Middle East as protesters waved flags and chanted slogans of Palestinian solidarity.
U.S. embassies throughout the region warned citizens to avoid planned protests, saying it could turn violent, a little warning.
Increased police presence was visible in Jerusalem, where the military had stored equipment riot against the possibility of increased violence.
The speech mentioned above, the Palestinian youth threw stones and bottles at Israeli security forces in the Security West Bank Checkpoint leads to Jerusalem, an event routine Friday. There was no injuries, but a rock-throwing between Palestinians and Israeli citizens Qusra resulted in three injuries, one of whom died, according to the IDF.
No immediate action is expected to seek Abbas' that the Palestinians to enter the international body, and how the UN Declaration is almost certainly doomed to failure because the U.S. veto in the Security Council.
"Peace will not come through the declarations and resolutions of the United Nations," President Barack Obama's speech, told delegates of the General Assembly earlier this week. "If it were not so easy, it would have been reached so far."
Obama and Abbas met Wednesday in the back-scenes wrangling that accompanied the request controversial. The U.S. president said he supports a Palestinian state, but reiterated a long-standing position of the United States that Israel should be part of discussions.
Israel has described the offer as a negative, and called for an immediate resumption of negotiations to begin in New York and will be carried out in Ramallah and Jerusalem.
Negotiations broke down last year.
U.S. veto could block the appointment of a full member of the UN General Assembly could vote to improve the situation of the Palestinians, who currently have observer status without voting rights "entity."
Body may change the status of permanent observer "status" identical to the stands of the Vatican at the United Nations.
Despite the breathtaking year of change, which saw popular revolutions mark the political upheavals of Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and other countries to talk about a Palestinian state was dominated by the General Assembly session this week.
"Action for membership sends a strong message to the Palestinians that Abbas is working to promote the Palestinian cause," said Steven Cook, a senior research fellow in Middle Eastern studies at the Council on Foreign Relations
"At this moment he is thinking of his domestic political situation in order to maintain its position," said Cook. "So he is not eaten alive."
Hamas, the two dominant Palestinian group has claimed that the political programs of United Nations and direct negotiations with Israel would give the Palestinians "with what they are looking for."
"The speech of Abbas was able to emotionally move people's feelings, but his description of Palestinian suffering is different from that of reality," said Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri.
Hamas controls Gaza, while Abbas' Fatah, the organization maintains in the West Bank.
