Turkey has called for the Palestinian flag to finally be raised at the UN, saying that international recognition of Palestine is now an obligation rather than an option.
"We must work hand in hand with our Palestinian brothers. The Palestinian cause is the cause of human dignity. It's time to raise the Palestinian flag at the United Nations. Let's raise the Palestinian flag and let that flag be the symbol of peace and justice in the Middle East," said Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan in a Tuesday address to the Arab League in Cairo.
Before the year's end "we will see Palestine in a very different situation," he emphasized.
Defying Israeli threats and US opposition, the Palestinian Authority (PA) is preparing to make a statehood bid at the UN General Assembly’s annual meeting. The Palestinian delegation is due to arrive in New York on September 19 and will submit an application for an official membership to the world body in the following days.
PA says that more than 130 countries would recognize the state of Palestine, which is more than the two-thirds majority required in the 193-member UN General Assembly.
