i24 News – “Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas is seriously considering unilaterally declaring the formation of a Palestinian state at the upcoming UN General Assembly in New York in September,” i24NEWS Senior Middle East Correspondent Ariel Oseran reported Sunday.
“According to Qatari Al-Araby Al-Jadeed, the announcement will be based on a constitutional declaration defining the state’s borders and foundations, and setting a date for Palestinian National Council elections. A senior Palestinian source stated that no other elections have been held, including for the Legislative Council,” he added.
“The move,” continued Oseran, “Without national consensus, is merely a symbolic political step, nearly 32 years after the signing of the Oslo Accords.”
Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir took to X in response, saying, “I will appeal to the Prime Minister with a request to bring immediate operative measures to the next cabinet meeting to dismantle the Palestinian Authority.”
“This must be the response to the terrorist Abu Mazen’s fantasies of a “Palestinian state” — crushing the terror authority he heads,” he added.
