Palestinian government has bemoaned over 78 per cent Israeli government occupation of West Bank and Gaza, leaving Palestine with only 22 percent control.
Palestine also alleged that the current Israeli government is being ultra-conservative, messianic and bent in putting stumbling blocks to the resolution of the conflict between the two countries.
The Ambassador of Palestine to Nigeria, Abdallah Abu Shawesh, during an interactive conference with the Diplomat Press Corps in Abuja, reiterated that Palestine has been trying to convince the international Community to support the Two-State Solution to end Palestine-Israeli conflict.
Shawesh explained that Palestine is controlling less than twenty percent of Area A and twenty percent of West Bank as Area B, making forty percent of Area A and B while the Israeli are controlling sixty percent of Palestine West Bank.
“Palestinian as a country, is fully under the control of Israeli. Before the war in 1948, Palestine have their sea ports, currency, Central Bank among others which is why they have called on the international community to find solution to Israeli attacks on the innocent civilians taken in refugee camps.”
“The Palestinian Authority government is totally in support of the two-State solution after all areas of disagreement has been amicably settled, and the solution should be in practical level not only in theoretical level or with lip service.”
The Palestinian envoy also alleged that the Israeli government is using delay tactics and going back on agreements reached in the past by putting obstacles to the resolution of the conflict.
He, therefore, called on the international community to apply pressure on the Israel government to refrain from attacking Palestine.
“Two-State solution refers to an arrangement where Israel and Palestinian states co-exist in the region.
“The two-State solution supported by the United States government and numerous countries in the world has not materialise because of four main reasons namely: Borders, Jerusalem, Refugees, and Security.”
