(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Israel, with the full support of the United States, has been trying to undermine the efforts of Hamas and Fatah to reach a reconciliation deal.
Making matters worse, there is a U.S.-Israeli conspiracy to stifle the voice of the Palestinians in the international arena.
But a new international movement has taken up the cause of the Palestinians, and some of its members have taken the UN track and are calling for a vote to be held at the UN General Assembly to recognize the statehood of Palestine based on the borders before the Six-Day War of 1967.
Hamas official Mousa Abu Marzook is making strenuous efforts to convince the international community to vote for a UN resolution that would put a Palestinian independent state on the map.
But U.S. President Barack Obama said last month, “No vote at the United Nations will ever create an independent Palestinian state.”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed his approval, saying, “We’ll follow what our well wishers say.”
