Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas called on the United Nations on Wednesday to pursue efforts to “bring an end to Israeli occupation of the state of Palestine within a set timeframe.”

Mahmous Abbas tells UN General Assembly that if Israel destroys two-state solution, Palestinians will demand full equal rights for all inhabitants of historic Palestine

Trump noted that Israeli-Palestinian peace is considered the „toughest deal of all“ to achieve, but vowed to devote „everything within my heart and within my soul to get that deal made.“

Trump said Saudi Arabia and other Arab states are making efforts to advance the peace process. „Who knows, stranger things have happened, but we have a good chance,“ he said.

„Wir können nicht die Bürger in vielen unserer Städte vergessen, die Ziele der Langstreckenraketen vom (irakischen Diktator) Saddam Hussein in dessen achtjährigem Krieg gegen uns wurden“, sagte Rohani. Der bewaffnete Konflikt zwischen beiden Ländern begann 1980 mit einer irakischen Invasion im Iran.

I declare before you that the Islamic Republic of Iran will not be the first country to violate the agreement but it will respond decisively and resolutely to its violation by any party. It will be a great pity if this agreement would be destroyed by rogue newcomers to the world of politics. The world will have lost an opportunity but such behavior will never impede Iran’s course of progress and advancement. By violating its international commitments, the new U.S. administration only destroys its own credibility and undermines international confidence in negotiating with it. Not accepting its word or promise.

Join us LIVE for the 72nd United Nations General Assembly debate. More than 100 world leaders, thousands of diplomats and advocates will convene in New York City from 19-25 September 2017. This year’s theme is “Focusing on people — striving for peace and a decent life for all on a sustainable planet”.

“I have decided,” Trump told reporters when asked if he had made up his mind after having criticized the accord between Iran and world powers under which Tehran agreed to curb its nuclear program in return for relief from economic sanctions.

20 Sep 2017 – Hassan Rouhani, President of the Islamic Republic of Iran, addresses the general debate of the 72nd Session of the General Assembly of the UN (New York, 19 – 25 September 2017).

Der iranische Präsident Hassan Ruhani hat vor den Vereinten Nationen versichert, sein Land halte sich an das Abkommen zur Begrenzung seines Atomprogramms. Der Iran sei „nicht unehrlich“, sagte Ruhani vor der UN-Vollversammlung in New York. Er lasse sich aber auch nicht drohen, sagte Ruhani.

„(The aim is) to call on the UN to return to Libya. It is necessary for the peace process and for the migratory issue because the conditions of refugees in Libya must be monitored and improved on the human rights front“.

Die Maßnahmen erfolgen in Einklang mit der Resolution 2375 gegen Nordkorea, die der UN-Sicherheitsrat am 11. September einstimmig verabschiedet hatte. Taiwan ist zwar kein UN-Mitglied, hat jedoch aufgrund der Einschätzung, dass Nordkoreas Atom- und Raketenprogramme die regionale Sicherheit bedrohen, eigene Sanktionen umgesetzt.

Cavusoglu’s comments, in an interview with Al-Monitor news website on Monday, were the first confirmation by a Turkish official of Kurdish and other media reports that two National Intelligence Organization agents were kidnapped by the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, or PKK, while on a mission in northern Iraq.

Police said in an official statement, quoted by Sky News Arabia, that curfew was to apply indefinitely after one Kurd was killed late Monday. He was killed in a clash with the sentry of a Turkmen political party’s office when Kurdish revellers celebrating the referendum passed by the facility, waving Kurdish flags.

The referendum is risky, especially in Kirkuk, a multi-ethnic city also claimed by Arabs since oil was discovered there in the 1930s. The Kurdistan region produces around 600,000 barrels per day (bpd) of oil.

The statement gave no further detail on the timing of the operation or the targets hit but said all aircraft returned safely.

Airstrikes on PKK targets in southeast Turkey and northern Iraq, where the terror group has its main base in the Qandil region near the Iranian border, have been carried out regularly since July 2015, when the PKK resumed its armed campaign.

Turkey‘s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan late Tuesday warned of sanctions against the Kurdish Regional Government (KRG) if it proceeds with its planned referendum for independence next week.

„We have always supported“ the KRG, Erdogan told reporters in New York after his address at the UN General Assembly. „We think this approach of theirs amounts to ignoring the Republic of Turkey, which has stood by them and counted them as a close ally.“

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the United Nations General Assembly that „Iran vows to destroy my country every day,“ hours after praising U.S. President Donald Trump‘s speech as the most courageous speech he has heard in his 30-plus years at the UN.
