Palestinian leader asks UN for end to Israeli occupation
Somini Sengupta, The New York Times, United Nations
Transcribed from the clipping
“The Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas, accused Israel on Friday of failing to negotiate in good faith, said any return to negotiations would be ‘naïve at best’ and called on the Security Council to press for a specific deadline to end Israeli occupation.
‘It is impossible and I repeat — it is impossible — to return to the cycle of negotiations that failed to deal with the substance of the matter and the fundamental question,’ Abbas said at the annual session of the General Assembly, reading from a prepared text but visibly enraged.
‘The time has come to end this settlement occupation.’… The fighting this summer damaged more than 100 U.N. schools and hospitals… The United Nations said 2,150 Palestinians, including 500 children, were killed.
On the Israeli side, 67 soldiers and six civilians, including one child, were killed… Abbas described the Israeli occupation as ‘an abhorrent form of state terrorism and a breeding ground for incitement, tension and hatred.’”
