Chia sẻ
(VOVworld) - Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas told the UN General Assembly on Thursday that Israel's ongoing settlement expansion in the occupied West Bank was destroying any hope of a two-state solution along the lines of the original 1967 borders. He went on to urge countries to recognize Palestine as a state and said that he would soon present the UN Security Council with a resolution against Israeli settlements in the West Bank, which he hopes every country in the 15-member Security Council would support.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took the stage to claim that the conflict has never been about the settlements or about establishing a Palestinian state. The issue of settlements in the West Bank was nonetheless "real," he conceded, saying that it "can and must be resolved in final negotiations, final-status negotiations."
