United Nations, September 25 (RHC)-- Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas says that Israel is destroying its last chance for a peaceful settlement by pushing forward with the U.S.-devised “Deal of the Century” -- a plot that unilaterally grants Israel much of the occupied West Bank.

Addressing the 75th session of the United Nations General Assembly on Friday, Abbas said the so-called plan would effectively annex 33 percent of Palestinian land, a clear violation of previous international accords.

“The Palestinian nation will continue with its endurance and resistance, will never surrender and will eventually be victorious,” Abbas said.  The Palestinian president called on UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to launch an international conference that can make way for “a genuine peace process” early next year.

“Until when should the cause of the Palestinian people remain without a fair resolution? A solution should be conceived on the basis of international regulations.”  And he added: “Security, peace, stability and coexistence are not possible under occupation."
