Chairman Mahmoud Abbas of the Palestinian Authority called on Israel, Thursday, to end what he called its "occupation" of lands beyond the 1949 Armistice Line.
Speaking at the United Nations General Assembly, he said the PA has recognized Israel since 1993 and said Israel must reciprocate. Similarly, he said Arabs recognized the Holocaust and said Israel must recognize the "Nakba" or catastrophe created by the creation of the modern Jewish state.
