United Nations, April 7 (RHC)-- The Palestinian ambassador to the United Nations has voiced the Palestinians’ willingness to see the adoption of a UN Security Council resolution for ending the Israeli regime’s occupation and establishing a Palestinian state.

Riyad Mansour has expressed hope to see the 15-member Council’s “political will” over the adoption and implementation of a resolution. He added that the adoption of a resolution with a timetable for Israel’s withdrawal from Palestinian territories would be “one of the most effective measures to combat extremism in our region because extremists receive their fuel from the injustice of the Palestinian people.”

He pointed out that if “a just solution to this conflict” is passed “in a short period of time, then you'll take away from them the main source of recruitment and mobilization.” Mansour said that the UN resolution would also help resolve perhaps 70 percent of the “burning issues in the Middle East."
