Abbas warns against undermining the two-state solution: enough is enough, and the situation has become unbearable
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said on Friday that Israel has one year to withdraw from the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967.
In a recorded speech before the 76th session of the United Nations General Assembly, Abbas threatened to withdraw recognition of Israel if it did not withdraw from the Palestinian territories and prevent the two-state solution from being achieved.
He also threatened to go to the International Court of Justice "to take a decision on the legitimacy of the occupation on the land of the State of Palestine and to resolve the responsibility of the United Nations and the world in this regard."
Abbas affirmed the Palestinian readiness to work on demarcating the borders and ending all final status issues under the auspices of the International Quartet Committee, in accordance with the resolutions of international legitimacy.
"We have come to a confrontation with the truth with the occupation authority, and it seems that we are at a crossroads, and enough is enough, the situation has become intolerable and unsustainable, and our people can no longer tolerate more," he said.
He added, "We do not find a partner for peace in Israel that believes and accepts the two-state solution," warning that undermining the two-state solution based on international legitimacy will open wide doors for other alternatives that will be imposed on all of us by the reality on the ground.
