Mr. Abbas threatened to rescind the Palestinians' recognition of Israel if it does not withdraw from the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem within a year
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas accused Israel on September 24 of destroying the two-state solution with actions he said could lead Palestinians to demand equal rights within one binational State comprising Israel, the occupied West Bank and Gaza.
Addressing the United Nations General Assembly via video link from the West Bank, Mr. Abbas urged countries to act to save the two-State formula that for decades has been the bedrock of diplomacy for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Mr. Abbas said Israel was "destroying the prospect of apolitical settlement based on the two-State solution" through its settlements on West Bank land it captured in the 1967 Middle East war.
