During today’s official launch of the International Year of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, the President of the State of Palestine called on the international community to support the observance and expressed hope it would lead to the end of Israel’s 47-year occupation of Palestinian lands and to the creation of an independent Palestinian State with full United Nations membership.
