The Palestinian Authority leadership officially decided on Sunday that it will be turning to the UN General Assembly this coming September in order to achieve recognition of a Palestinian state within the 1949 armistice lines.
The decision was made during a meeting of PA leadership convened by PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas in his office in Ramallah.
Following the meeting, the PA leadership called in a statement on all countries to support its move, saying that it “encourages the efforts to resume negotiations” for peace with Israel.
