State would give the Palestinians a greater influence in the struggle against Israeli occupation, Mahmoud Abbas said

Palestinian President emphasized the fact that recent diplomatic efforts to avoid a collision with the United Nations for the provision of a Palestinian state has come too late and they move forward in spite of be "under pressure from the world. "

"Whatever the pressure, leaving the UN to submit our application. We know that many countries do not agree with us, not like this idea, but we will go, "Abbas said in his presidential compound in Ramallah.

says only reconsider its application for recognition of a Palestinian state in the UN if the return to negotiations with the Israelis on the basis of pre-1967 borders and a total freeze on construction in colonies was offered.

But the United States and Europe has been too slow in the use of diplomatic power of the question, he said. "To be honest, who arrived too late. They lost all the time since the beginning of this year ... until today or yesterday, you lose all the time now. Now, when you come here to say, ok we have this idea or package and do not go to the UN, we will not. "

The Palestinian delegation to arrive in New York on September 19 and submit your application to be accepted as a member of the global organization in the coming days. "Everything is ready, everything is in hand," he said.

The first application will be submitted to the Security Council, whose approval is required for full integration, despite the United States saying he would veto the measure. Palestinians can apply for recognition under the accession to the General Assembly, which requires two-thirds majority.

pressure on their chosen route was intense. "Everyone asks us to do or not do, change our minds," said Abbas. The Palestinians do not want confrontation, "not with America or anyone else" but " there will be confrontation. "

Statesman, Abbas said the Palestinians would give him greater influence in the struggle against Israeli occupation. "This means that there will be a state under occupation. Israel now says [in East Jerusalem and the West Bank] is a disputed area and that they can build settlements anywhere. They do not recognize either the Palestinian territory. When we are a State .. . will negotiate with the Israelis as a result, of course, with the support of the UN. "

The Palestinians say
The threat of Congress to reduce funding to the Palestinians if they pursue the strategy of the United Nations has been a problem, he said. "We believe that the U.S. is an honest broker. If they cut off their support for us, a different situation."

He does not want his "good relations" with the United States to compromise, he said. "I want to keep my relationships. But if they do not want to depend on them. "


The Palestinian leadership had given strict instructions to avoid a violent confrontation with Israeli security forces in the weeks and months ahead, he said. "For our part, there will be no confrontation, no chaos. I do not want any friction between us and the Israelis."
