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."

Banon affair "a fantasy version," according to DSK

Sunday evening September 18, on TF1, Dominique Strauss-Kahn has shown little to say on the matter Banon, sweeping claims in three sentences to explain Claire Chazal. "It's an ongoing case, so I will not comment any more," he said after explaining that in this meeting, "there was no aggression, no violence." In early July, filed a complaint against Tristane Banon DSK, accusing it of attempting to rape her in February 2003, in an apartment in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, when she questioned him for a book she was preparing.

The version without "any violence" of the old favorite of the President's what happened that day contrasts with that of the young woman. In July, in an interview with L'Express, told Banon Tristane a scene much more raw. She explained they had to struggle and escape after DSK put his "fingers in the mouth (...) his hands in [his] pants after [him] to have blown up the jeans and the bra, under [his] neck black turtleneck. "

COMPLAINT

"It's a fantasy version and slanderous," defended Strauss-Kahn to Claire Chazal, recalling in this context that he had filed a complaint for false accusation.

The Paris prosecutor will soon decide on what action it wishes to give the preliminary investigation conducted by officers of the Brigade of fighting crime against the person (BRDP). The latter, after a lengthy hearing Tristane Banon, convened in the summer of the various witnesses that the girl had given. Lack of material, or direct witness of the scene, they sought to verify the statements of the woman interviewing his relatives on the version that they had delivered at the time.

DSK returned to France, investigators have heard, September 12. According to information published on the website of L'Express, September 16, conceded he would "have tried to kiss her thinking she was consenting." "Tristan Banon would then rejected. DSK would not have insisted and the young woman is a party, he said, quite normally." The investigation is complete, it will be the Paris prosecutor to file the complaint without further action or, conversely, to entrust the case to a judge. It can also be argued that the scene is sexual assault, not attempted rape. The facts would then be prescribed.

The European Union calls for a "constructive solution"

Taking "note" of the Palestinian will to join the UN, the EU still wants to believe Saturday, September 17 at a "constructive remedy" could quickly lead to a resumption of peace talks, "the only way to achieve peace and the two-state solution that the Palestinian people want, "said a spokesman for European diplomacy.
In announcing Friday that he would apply for membership "full" of Palestine to the Security Council of the UN, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas issued a plea of ​​receiving the advice of U.S. envoys, the European Union and the Quartet on the Middle East (United States, Russia, EU, UN) that have succeeded to dissuade him from this path.
"The next days will be crucial"
Catherine Ashton has spent several days including in Cairo and Israel, where she has stepped up meetings with representatives of the Arab League, with Mahmoud Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Despite the intransigence displayed by Mahmoud Abbas, "we need to see details and timing of the request. The coming days will be crucial," said Maja Kocijancic Saturday, spokeswoman Catherine Ashton. "Therefore we will redouble our efforts, together with our partners in the Quartet, to launch negotiations between the parties as soon as possible. This is the only way to end the conflict," she said.
A meeting of the envoys of the Quartet is scheduled Sunday in New York. In July, Russians and Europeans did not agree with the Americans on a statement by the Quartet likely to give new impetus to the peace process. But discussions are ongoing at present to obtain a text, and "a clear commitment to resume negotiations quickly," said a European diplomat.
DEEP DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE EUROPEAN
The EU has "strongly supported Palestinian aspirations to a state", said Maja Kocijancic, noting that development aid provided by the Europeans was "designed to build institutions and infrastructure of the future Palestinian state." This position conceals profound differences between Europeans. Italy, Czech Republic, the Netherlands and Poland are opposed to a Palestinian request for membership, according to diplomatic sources in Brussels. Germany would also oppose it. Most other European countries tend to be favorable, but many fear that the EU is torn on the issue in public.
Friday night, a spokesman for the Foreign Ministry reiterated that "France would take its responsibilities on the issue of recognition of the State of Palestine". But he also added that the French position would be "guided by three concerns to preserve the prospect of a resumption of the negotiating process, to avoid a diplomatic confrontation and maintain European unity."
The option of a membership application submitted to the Security Council is adamantly opposed by the United States who may veto it. Israel rejected the ad unsurprisingly, the office of Benjamin Netanyahu in a brief statement declaring that "peace can not be achieved by a unilateral approach to the UN."
ISRAEL AND THE "Helplessness"
An Israeli minister has acknowledged that Israel Saturday, September 17 could not prevent the application for membership of a Palestinian state in the UN, saying, however, possible a resumption of peace negotiations.
"Unfortunately, Israel has no means to prevent the Palestinians call their country's accession to the UN and it is impossible to stop," he told Israeli public radio the Minister without Portfolio Yossi Peled, Likud Party. "But this initiative will face probably the refusal of the Security Council and we have a room to negotiate," he said. "Israel can not resign ourselves to powerlessness and to argue that the solution of two states for two peoples must be obtained through direct talks," he added.
Questioned further about the possibility of a serious deterioration in the security situation in the wake of the Palestinian initiative, Mr. Peled said that "Israel is an island of democracy in a sea Islamic and must be wise in opening the eyes and ears. "

THE FATAH CALLS FOR PEACEFUL DEMONSTRATION

"We call on all Islamic and national movements inside and outside Palestine to protest peacefully Wednesday in Gaza, West Bank, Jerusalem and outside (of Palestine) to support the application" of accession of a State of Palestine to the UN, said Zakkariya al-Agha, member of the executive committee of liberation Organisation (PLO) and the Central Committee of Fatah, the secular party of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas .

"We must remain united and peaceful protest in order not to give to the occupier (Israel) that an excuse to destroy our state," he added. Abbas reiterated Friday that he will present on September 23 the membership application of a State of Palestine to the UN to be submitted to the Security Council.
