Al jazeera post: palestinian president threatens to go to UN

The article I choose to do this posts is about the palestinian-israeli conflict. The artice caught my eye because it was about a conflict we had studied in class and have better understanding of it. the President Mahmoud Abbas signed a request to join some UN councils to promote peace talks.
Abbas seemed very decide and said "this is not a move against America, or any other party - it is our right, and we agreed to suspend it for nine months". This should help avoiding any type of US intervention in possible peace talks.

This is another desperate attempt of the palestinian people and their leaders to peacefully regain the land they owned. AThis struggle has been going on for many years and seems unsurmountable. Al jazeeras correspondant said  "Abbas feels he has no other choice. He is in a difficult position among the Palestinians: The settlements have doubled; home demolitions of Palestinians have doubled - and it is difficult for him to justify the talks without seeing results,". In my opinion this is a good way to try to solve things peacefully and avoid violence at all cost. I think this councils could really help around and eventually have a settlement with both countries and solve the never ending conflict.
