PLO Factions in Lebanon Support PA’s Decision to Go to UN

The Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO’s) factions in Lebanon, Thursday confirmed their commitment and support for the Palestinian leadership’s decision to go to the United Nations (UN) in September to seek recognition of a Palestinian state based on 1967 borders and with East Jerusalem as its capital. The factions decided, in a statement, after their periodic meeting, to carry out wide public activities in all Palestinian refugee camps in support of the Palestinian leadership’s stance, headed by President Mahmoud Abbas. They considered the Palestinian leadership’s decision to go to the UN to seek full admission and recognition a step towards achieving the Palestinian people’s right to return according to the international resolution 194, calling on the donor countries to meet their obligations and support the United Nations Relief and Work Agency (UNRWA) to uphold their responsibilities towards the Palestinian refugees.
