Palestinians May Take Measures If Resolution to End Occupation Not Adopted: Ambassador

Palestinians have considered alternative measures in the case that the Security Council fails to adopt a resolution defining time limits to end Israel's occupation, Palestinian Ambassador to Russia Fayed Mustafa told RIA Novosti Wednesday.

"If we do not receive the approval of the majority [nine out of 15 Security Council members] needed, and the Security Council does not adopt the resolution, or the United States vetoes it, we will seek membership status in all the international organizations. This is the alternative measure that we have prepared ourselves for. There are more than 500 international organizations and treaties that we will gradually turn to, aiming to get the right for Palestine to join the United Nations. We will use membership in these international organizations to gain the right to create our Palestinian state," Mustafa said.
