Palestinian Authority Ambassador to the United Nations Riyad Mansour said that the Western-backed PA will continue its efforts to gain full membership at the international body. Mansour made the statement in response to the UN Security Council committee's announcement that the PA failed to garner the majority necessary to grant it UN membership.
PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas said Friday while visiting Tunisia that the dismantlement of the PA is out of the question, regardless of what the UN decides.
