UNITED NATIONS, Sept. 23 (Xinhua) -- Palestinian President Mahmud Abbas on Friday was greeted with a standing ovation as he entered the hall of the UN General Assembly, where he is to speak on the Palestinian position on the world issues. The standing ovation lasted more than one minute as Abbas was greeted by heads of state and government, who took part in the ongoing general debate of the General Assembly. Abbas emerged from his meeting with UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon when he formally presented the Palestinian statehood bid. In his speech at the fully packed Assembly hall, Abbas said, "I say to the Israelis, come to peace." The Palestinian president slammed the lengthy Israeli occupation as a colonial move, saying that the Jewish settlement threatens the two-state solution and the survival of the Palestinian Authority. The two-state solution, backed extensively by the international community, means an independent Palestinian State to live in peace with a secure Israel. Despite mounting pressures, including the repeated U.S. veto threats, Abbas went ahead with the original plan to formally present the Palestinian request for the UN statehood recognition. The Isareli-Palestinian conflict, seen as a big test for the international peace efforts, overwhelmed other matters here at the UN Headquarters in New York as 193 member states gathered here for the annual high-level debate of the UN General Assembly. The Palestinian statehood bid, though strongly opposed by Israel and its close ally the United States, enjoys great support from most UN members, who have voiced their endorsement in the General Assembly.Palestinian president gets standing ovation at general assembly - China Promotional Tin CansPalestinian president gets standing ovation at general assembly - China Promotional Tin CansPalestinian president gets standing ovation at general assembly - China Promotional Tin CansPalestinian president gets standing ovation at general assembly - China Promotional Tin Cans The e-commerce company in China offers quality products such as China Promotional Tin Cans , Empty Gift Tins, and more.
