Palestinians and Israelis negotiate with in United Nations before the consideration of the application for recognition


The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he was "concerned" Monday, September 19 with a meeting with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas at the UN General Assembly this week in New York. "I call on the President of the Palestinian Authority to open direct negotiations in New York who will then continue to Jerusalem and Ramallah" in the West Bank, he said in a statement.
Benjamin Netanyahu is expected Tuesday in New York to express the "truth" of Israel against the claim for membership of a Palestinian state at the UN. The Israeli government opposes this "unilateral initiative", believing that a Palestinian state can be created as part of a peace agreement with the Jewish state. Mr. Netanyahu is scheduled to meet Wednesday with U.S. President, Barack Obama, who shares this position and to speak Friday at the rostrum of the UN General Assembly the same day that the Palestinian president.
President Barack Obama arrived Monday afternoon in New York. The chief U.S. diplomat gave assurances that the United States are engaged in an effort to "very intensive diplomacy" to try to avoid a confrontation Friday. "The only way to a two-state solution, we support and want to see succeed, is that of negotiations," reiterated Hillary Clinton, who is scheduled to meet during the day with Catherine Ashton, the representative of the diplomacy of the European Union.
MEETING BETWEEN ABBAS AND BAN
Mahmoud Abbas, who arrived earlier today in New York, confirmed to the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon's intention to seek membership of Palestine. "The secretary general reiterated his support for a two-state solution and stressed his desire to ensure that the international community and both sides can find a breakthrough to resume negotiations in a legitimate and balanced," said spokesperson for Mr Ban, Martin Nesirky, after the meeting.
Mr. Ban spoke with President Abbas of the ongoing efforts of the Quartet of Middle East (USA, EU, UN, Russia) on the subject, still Nesirky said. "President Abbas has underlined its commitment to a negotiated solution."When he arrived at dawn, the Palestinian president had told the press that the Palestinian people and its leadership expected a "difficult situation" after the application for membership of a Palestinian state that he intends to present the September 23. He also called on Israel to "recognize a Palestinian state" and not "pass up the opportunity for peace."
The Palestinian president said on Friday he would present the application for membership of a State of Palestine to the UN to be submitted to the Security Council. Israel rejected the announcement, the Office of the Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, saying in a brief statement that "peace will come about not [it] not by a unilateral approach to the UN."

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas heads to the UN for recognition of a Palestinian state.




The Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said he expected things to be difficult after he decided to go to the United Nations for recognition of a Palestinian state.
Abbas also called on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to vote for the membership of a Palestinian state in the United Nations to achieve peace between the Palestinian and Israeli sides.
In remarks to reporters traveling with him on the plane that arrived by Monday morning to New York, he said: "I call upon the Israeli people to recognize the state of Palestine, which show two-state solution and not to waste the chance for peace."
He said he expected to pass the Palestinian people and leadership conditions "very difficult" to go after the Palestinian to the United Nations through the Security Council to request full membership of the State of Palestine up to 1967 and East Jerusalem as its capital.
"We are here and even my speech at the United Nations and the application for membership, we focus all our efforts to go to the Security Council not only are other ideas."
He stressed, "we seek to perpetuate the world's recognition of the State of Palestine and become a member of the State of Palestine, adding" step on the air is not a leap, but we do not want the hype and acclaim that independence. "
He referred to "attempts to return to the negotiations in September / September by the Americans, but all negotiations approximate and indirect failed because of Israeli intransigence."
He explained: "We told them since that time we go to the United Nations to request membership and we asked them to new proposals and we stayed in touch but did not provide any ideas."
He said that the Palestinian leadership was "a lot of pressure last week to return to negotiations on other grounds" with the Israelis, saying "We told them that what Tkdmoh can not deal with it and we accept to return to negotiations, but we have requests limits in 1967 with an exchange value and ideals of the land."
