Palestinian Proposal for Statehood
Lesson Brief
Walla News
On December 30, Walla News reported that the Palestinians toughened their position on their proposal for statehood and ignored Israel's security concerns. As it stands now, if the Palestinians try to force the UN Security Council to reach a decision before the start of the new year, the proposal will fail. The updated proposal does claim, however, that after a Palestinian state is established, full diplomatic relations will be established between the Arab countries and Israel.
