Great news, maybe NOW they will work on a two state solution. Better to deal with the elected Abbas, in peace, than Hamas.
General Assembly Grants Palestine Upgraded Status in U.N.
More than 130 countries voted on Thursday to grant Palestine the upgraded status
of nonmember observer state in the United Nations, a stinging defeat for Israel
and the United States and a boost for President Mahmoud Abbas of the Palestinian
Authority, who was weakened by the recent eight days of fighting in Gaza.
The new ranking could make it easier for the Palestinians to pursue Israel in
international legal forums, but it remained unclear what effect it would have on
attaining what both sides say they want — a two-state solution.
Still, the vote offered a showcase for an extraordinary international lineup of
support for the Palestinians and constituted a deeply symbolic achievement for
their cause, made even weightier by arriving on the 65th anniversary of the
General Assembly vote that divided the former British Mandate of Palestine into
two states, one Jewish and the other Arab — a vote that Israel considers the
international seal of approval for its birth.
