Viva Palestine: UNGA Resolution 67/19

Today's vote underscores the urgency of the resumption of meaningful negotiations

My position has been consistent all along. I believe that the Palestinians have a legitimate right to their own independent state. I believe that Israel has the right to live in peace and security with its neighbours. There is no substitute for negotiations to that end.

Kenyataan Ban Ki-moon, Setiausaha Agung PBB

selepas pengundian Resolusi UNGA 67/19

29 November 2012 (Khamis)

29 November 2012 merupakan hari yang penuh bersejarah bagi warga Palestin, juga seluruh dunia Islam kerana Palestin diiktiraf sebagai sebuah negara selepas pengundian terhadap Resolusi UNGA (Perhimpunan Agung PBB - United Nations General Assembly) 67/19 memihak kepada Palestin dengan sokongan daripada 138 buah negara berbanding 9 yang menentang. 41 buah negara lain tidak mengundi.

Pengundian ini menaiktaraf Palestin menjadi Negara Pemerhati Bukan Anggota.

Presiden Palestin, Mahmoud Abbas meraikan keputusan tersebut bersama para delegasinya.

Juga tarikh yang sama, 65 tahun lampau, negara Israel diiktiraf badan dunia itu sebagai sebuah negara.

Hasil undian.

Sudah tentu, Amerika Syarikat dan Israel 'meroyan' atas keputusan ini.

Today's unfortunate and counter-productive resolution places further obstacles in the path to peace. That is why the United States voted against it.

Susan Rice

Duta Amerika Syarikat di PBB

We have been clear that only through direct negotiations between the parties can the Palestinians and Israelis achieve the peace they both deserve: two states for two people with a sovereign, viable independent Palestine living side by side in peace and security with a Jewish and democratic Israel.

Hillary Clinton

Setiausaha Negara Amerika Syarikat

Tinta mencoret: Semoga dengan keputusan ini, penduduk Palestin akan mendapat layanan yang sewajarnya daripada masyarakat dunia.
