Arabs may ask UN to recognize Palestinian state
BRUSSELS — Arab nations may seek UN recognition of a Palestinian state if Israel continues to build settlements in the West Bank, Egypt’s foreign minister said Friday.
Ahmed Aboul Gheit said an Arab League request to the UN may come next month.
“If Israel does not respect the settlements freeze,” Gheit said, “the Arab League will study some other option aside from the peace process such as going to the United Nations and ask for the recognition of the Palestinian state.”
