Headline: “The [PA] president: Israel’s rejection of the two-state solution will obligate us to turn to other options”

 

 

 

 

“[PA] President Mahmoud Abbas met with important figures from the Hebron and Bethlehem districts yesterday evening [Oct. 2, 2021] at the [PA] Presidential Office in Ramallah.

 

In a speech that the president delivered before them, he dealt with the issues that arose in his latest speech before the UN General Assembly, in which he determined a time period of one year for the end of the occupation. He said: ‘Israel’s rejection of the two-state solution will obligate us to turn to other options, such as again demanding the 1947 partition resolution (i.e., the UN partition plan; see note below), or going towards one democratic state in the territory of historical Palestine (i.e., all of Israel and the PA areas), in which the Palestinians’ full political and civil rights will be realized in the territory of historical Palestine.’”
