Abbas not to meet Netanyahu

Abbas ruled out the time to meet with Netanyahu in NY

Palestinian President maintains his idea to request the status of State at the UN.

Ensures that a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister is "wasting time".

Netanyahu urges Abbas to resume peace talks between Israel and Palestine.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, d Escart, for now, meeting with Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu , to return, just as suggested on Monday the Israeli leader , direct peace negotiations in New York, where both will agree discussions at the UN General Assembly.

President Abbas is willing to meet just for the sake of meeting Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki, so said during an interview in New York, while recognizing that the delegation headed by Abbas has not yet received a formal request some of the Israeli authorities and considered that the meeting "would not now anything."

"President Abbas is willing to meet just for the sake of meeting, for Netanyahu goes on to show that things are fine, there is no conflict. We will not allow , "said Palestinian Foreign Minister.

Maliki was responding to Netanyahu, after he urged Abbas to meet him in New York, instead of " wasting time "with the request for admission of Palestine as a UN member state.

"Talk about a meeting with Netanyahu, that meeting must leave something, we know you will represent something," reasoned the minister, who encouraged the Israeli prime minister shows its willingness to negotiate "acceptable," said, "first the 1967 borders and slowing and stopping settlement in full. "

"So we have no problem meeting with him in New York, Palestine, Israel or anywhere in the world to immediately start political negotiations," said Maliki, who said the Palestinians would not accept "no pressure" and go ahead with his attempt to gain entry to the UN.

Abbas confirmed Monday the United Nations secretary general, Ban Ki-moon on Friday presented the request for accession of Palestine to the international organization to be recognized as a state "as of right."

Member State

"Any lower status puts us in an awkward position with our principles, our people and everyone who has supported our people over the years," Maliki told Efe, while acknowledging that your request is at risk of being frustrated in the Security Council of the UN, the body that must give initial approval to the entrance, through the power of veto in the U.S..

Any lower status puts us in an awkward position with our principles , "Why should we be different and be treated as less than? not accept less, we are equal and sometimes better than other countries, "said the minister, who showed data from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), World Bank (WB) and the European Union (EU) to show that the Palestinian territories might work "better than other countries in the region."

In the event that Washington exercises his veto as the U.S. administration has announced and the Palestinian request came to nothing, Maliki said that "it will have to evaluate other options, like going to the General Assembly." Palestinian Foreign Minister said that will not leave empty as his people, he said, expected to ask to become a member state "and that's what we do."

"We're going to take symbolic support by most countries , "said the minister, who acknowledged that the Palestinians have a second option to go to the General Assembly later to get the non-member status, higher the current one.

"The U.S. has told us very clearly they do not want to go or the Security Council or the Assembly because both options will open the door to membership in various organizations and agencies, and sign treaties, such as the International Criminal Court International (CPI) and (to that body) could lead to Israel's occupation, "he said.

"I'll just say that there is no need to go to the ICC Palestine if Israel gives up its occupation and stop acting like an occupying force . Pressure should not be to Palestine, which is a victim, but to Israel, "said Maliki .
