Palestine will seek to join as a full member of the UN

Through a speech given in the capital of Egypt, the president of Palestine, Mahmoud Abbas, explained that he will request the incorporation as a full member of the UN with the aim of guaranteeing protection to the solution proposed by the international community to the conflict with Israel.In addition, in full escalation of the conflict, he said he would ask the UN agencies to demand the end of “unilateral Israeli actions, especially the construction of settlements” and urged the international community to “protect” the Palestinians from Israel.Since 2012 the country has been a non-member observer state of the UN by virtue of a General Assembly resolution, so they remain hopeful that “the Security Council will consider favorably the application submitted in 2011 by the State of Palestine for admission as a full member of the country. the United Nations”. At the same time, according to the AFP agency, the president said that the world must “protect” the Palestinian people to “put an end to Israeli aggression” and “unilateral actions.” In this way, by videoconference, the UN Secretary General, António Guterres, made it clear that “the position of the UN is clear: it rejects unilateral decisions”, something that includes “the illegal Israeli settlements in East Jerusalem”, which is the Palestinian territory of the Holy City.
