Abbas tal till generalförsamlingen

Abbas tal kan läsas här.
Abbas fortsätter med att sätta förhandsvillkor för att gå med på förhandlingar men skyller ändå på Israel för att förhandlingarna inte kommer igång.
Abbas vägrar fortfarande förhandla om inte Israel stoppar byggandet i bosättningarna i Judéen och Samarien samt i östra Jerusalem, där man kan säga att judarna alltid har bott och byggt förutom de 19 år då Jordanien ockuperade staden.

Statement by
H.E. Mr. Mahmoud Abbas
President of the State of Palestine
Chairman of the Executive Committee
of the Palestine Liberation Organization
President of the Palestinian National Authority


"... Over the past year we did not leave a door to be knocked or channel to be tested or path to be taken and we did not ignore any formal or informal party of influence and stature to be
addressed. We positively considered the various ideas and proposals and initiatives presented
from many countries and parties. But all of these sincere efforts and endeavors undertaken by
international parties were repeatedly wrecked by the positions of the Israeli government, which quickly dashed the hopes raised by the launch of negotiations last September...


...
Settlement activities embody the core of the policy of colonial military occupation of the
land of the Palestinian people and all of the brutality of aggression and racial discrimination
against our people that this policy entails. This policy, which constitutes a breach of
international humanitarian law and United Nations resolutions, is the primary cause for the
failure of the peace process, the collapse of dozens of opportunities, and the burial of the great
hopes that arose from the signing of the Declaration of Principles in 1993 between the Palestine
Liberation Organization and Israel to achieve a just peace that would begin a new era for our
region...."
