‘Palestinian state could not be harm to peace’: Palestinian representative to the UN

Ziad Abi Amr, the Palestinian representative to the UN, said granting Palestinians a sovereign state will pave the way for “true peace based on justice”.

Peace would greatly beneficial to the entire region, the ambassador said, stressing that the Palestinian leadership has always supported a diplomatic solution.

“How could this recognition and this membership harm international peace and security?,” he asked members of the UNSC.

“Such a decision to grant full membership would be an important pillar to reach peace because the Israeli-Palestinian conflict now goes beyond the border of Palestine and Israel and impacts other regions in the Middle East and the world.

“So we believe that it’s high time for the Security Council to shoulder its historic responsibility and give justice to the Palestinian people to adopt a resolution to accept Palestine as a full member of the UN.

“Those who are trying to disrupt the adoption of such a resolution, they are not helping the prospect of peace.”
