RAMALLAH, Nov 12 (NNN-WAFA) – Palestine, yesterday, welcomed the UN General Assembly’s adoption of four resolutions in favour of Palestine, including one deeming the Israeli settlements in the Palestinian territories illegal.
Palestinian Foreign Minister, Riyad Al-Maliki, said in a press statement that, Palestine welcomed the UN vote, in favour of the resolution and international support in this regard.
The positive results “came, in light of Israel’s systematic violations against our people’s rights and its lack of commitment to international law,” he said.
Al-Maliki added, “These decisions affirm the legitimate rights of our Palestinian people, foremost of which is the right to self-determination and the right of Palestinian (refugees) to return to their homes.”
Yesterday, the UN General Assembly Fourth Committee, adopted four resolutions on Israeli-Palestinian issues, with two in favour of extending the mandate of the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), and providing assistance to Palestinian refugees.
The other two are in favour of the property of the Palestinian refugees and their revenue, and against Israeli settlements and practices in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem and the occupied Syrian Golan.
The Palestinians want to establish an independent Palestinian state, of the territories occupied by Israel in 1967, including the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem as its capital.– NNN-WAFA
