Prerequisites, Positions and Expectations Before the Meeting of the UN General Assembly
The Palestinians are planning to apply to the United Nations (UN) in September 2011 for membership and for recognition as a state. According to Mahmoud Abbas, negotiations with Israel to try to find a solution to their final status however still are a priority. Still, the Palestinians feel that now is the time for them to move the conflict away from the purely political international stage and into the legal arena. Now they are trying to go down the route of international law.
