“We are determined to regain the rights of our people, including the right of return for refugees and the freedom of all Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails,” Abbas said.
He repeated an earlier threat to dissolve the Palestinian Authority if the resolution, which will pave the way for the creation of a Palestinian state, fails. Abbas also called for peaceful demonstrations to protest Israel’s occupation and building of separation barrier.
