After Israel suspended talks because of unity deal between Hamas, Fatah, Palestinian renew bid to join international organizations, further threatening talks' extension.
The PLO's central council on Sunday adopted a plan to pursue attempts to join 60 United Nations bodies and international agreements, according to a statement from the governing body of the Palestine Liberation Organisation.
The council, held under the auspices of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, "affirms the need for the Palestinian leadership to continue membership of UN agencies and international conventions, under the Palestinian plan that was adopted," the Palestine People's Party secretary general Bassam al-Salhi said in a statement.

In the press release, in addition to the UN bid, the Palestinian Central Council stated that "for a resumption of negotiations, Israel must agree on the reference to the 1967 borders in accordance with UN resolutions, completely stop settlement construction and move to Palestinians prisoners."
I hope that Palestinian statehood comes into its own sooner than later. The it's on to the Hague with Israel.
