Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas urged Israel to accept a two-state
solution based on 1967 borders, warning that the opportunity would not
stay on the table for long. Abbas set out the Palestinian case for
statehood and full UN membership at a World Economic Forum conference
in Istanbul, stressing that membership of the United Nations should
not prejudice negotiations with Israel. Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan
told the conference the Palestinian issue remained the most important
problem threatening peace and stability in the region and that there
was mounting anger with Israel over its policies.
