In the background of the Israeli government's intention to apply sovereignty, the Palestinians continue to promote moves against Israel in the UN arena as well.

In recent days, the Palestinians have been working to advance a resolution condemning Israel's intention to apply sovereignty, which is expected to go up before the Israeli move is implemented. Israel is expected to respond strongly.

Because in the Security Council any decision against Israel will be blocked by the US veto, the Palestinian leadership is focusing on a resolution that will be brought before the General Assembly. Although the General Assembly does not convene because of the Corona epidemic, it is possible to bring special proposals and special voting procedures for the current period. 

Danon: "Political Terror"

The Palestinian condemnation proposal joins other actions that the Palestinians have been leading in the last few months since the "century deal" was published. Last month, representatives of the Arab group at the UN met with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterresh, raising concerns about a unilateral move by Israel. The Palestinians were also reinforced by the UN's unidentified group of countries that condemned the "annexation programs" , Which they claim violated international law, and called on the international community to take steps against Israel, including a boycott of factories in Judea and Samaria.

• Preparedness for sovereignty: The security system prepares for the consequences of the political process

• European diplomats estimate: "Response to applying sovereignty in Judea will be relatively easy"

Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations, Danny Danon, said: "As much as is needed, Israel is prepared to defend the UN with any decision it will make in the Israeli government and work with our friends around the world to thwart hostile initiatives. The solution to the conflict will come through direct negotiations in Jerusalem and not through political terrorism. In New York, the international community needs to know that legitimizing Palestinian provocation is a boon to Abu Mazen's refusal to have a dialogue with Israel. "

Meanwhile, the PLO Executive Committee and Abu Mazen's close adviser, Saib Erekat, said on Tuesday: , For practical steps and recognition of the State of Palestine. " 

Clashes in the West Bank

Meanwhile, one month before the deadline for applying sovereignty, the area is heating up. The clashes took place yesterday, among other things, near Tubas east of Hebron and Kfar Kadum. Protesters called for condemnation of the century plan and threw stones.

Security forces responded by firing rubber bullets. At the same time, the Arab League issued a 53-year notice of the Six-Day War, which stated that "a plan to implement sovereignty in all Palestinian territories is null and void, condemnable, and is a war crime."
