Abbas says Palestinian issue is UN’s “greatest test”

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said that the Palestinian issue remains the “greatest test” of the United Nations, in a speech broadcast by the official Palestine TV on Sunday, to mark the 75th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations.

“The Palestinian people held hope for the United Nations, the historical witness to their misfortune, to be the supporter of their legitimate struggle, for their freedom and independence, and we are still waiting for the United Nations to fulfil its full responsibility, in achieving a peaceful settlement of the Palestine issue,” Abbas said from Ramallah.

He added, “the Palestinian issue remains the greatest test for this international system and its credibility, and what it has recognised as an inherent right of all rights. We do not ask for more and do not accept less.”

On Friday, the Palestinian President asked the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, to call for an international peace conference in early 2021 “with the aim of engaging in a real peace process based on international law and international legitimacy.”​
