Palestine has won UN recognition as being a sovereign state, and will now be referred to as the “State of Palestine” on all future UN documents. Palestine’s Mahmoud Abbas calls the move a “major achievement.”

In an interview with RT posted on its website, Abbas said that while the Zionist entity has considered Palestine disputed territories for many years, Tel Aviv will no longer be able to argue who the land belongs to.

And while the Zionists continue its illegal settlement activity on occupied territories, Abbas says he is focused on coming to a solution with Tel Aviv through peaceful means – because fighting will only lead to Palestine’s destruction.

He added that all Arabs and Muslims are ready to have peace with the entity of occupation, and said that Palestine must make sure that the Zionists and their supporters do not have reason to continue with the current situation.
