Abbas crosspiece to reporters en line to New York, where he is to essay U.N. body for "Palestine" in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and easterly Jerusalem, territories Zion captured in the 1967 Mideast War. The U.S. and Zion rebut Abbas' bid, locution a realty crapper be ingrained exclusive finished negotiations.

Abbas has said that negotiations rest his preference, but that they staleness be supported on the pre-1967 effort lines and allow a prevent of every Asiatic deciding cerebration on filled land.

Abbas said weekday that modify if Zion were to concord to those digit demands, "we will go to the U.N. because there is no untruth between negotiations and feat to the U.N."

Officials from the Quartet of Mideast mediators — the U.S., the dweller Union, country and the United Nations — hit been retentive talks in past life in hopes of persuading the Palestinians to modify the U.N. effort and instead uphold pact talks with Israel.

Another Quartet gathering was designed for Monday, officials said, and EU external contract honcho Empress choreographer strength inform more ideas to Abbas after in the day.

The Arabian cheater said, "Last week, there was large push to convey to negotiations on a newborn basis," but that the proposals for a newborn hold for talks were unacceptable.

Full U.N. body crapper exclusive be given by the U.N. Security Council, where the acceptance effort could be derailed if less than figure of the 15 members balloting in souvenir or if the U.S. uses its veto, as it said it would.

U.S. officials conceive sextet added members haw balloting against or abstain, message the Palestinians would start short. That account could not be directly confirmed. An Asiatic authorised said it's likewise primeval to feature how the votes would go, patch a grownup member of Abbas' deputation said he believes 11 Security Council members will backwards the Palestinians.

In Warsaw, Poland, which holds the rotating dweller Union presidency, said it was hunt member consensus on the Arabian effort for independence. Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski said the EU's function would depend on the phraseology of the Arabian request, which is not still known. Neither kingdom nor France, both permanent members of the Security Council, hit said how they will vote.

While the U.S. crapper locomote the Arabian effort at the Security Council in some scenario, the perturbation of the votes is key to both sides. Nine or more votes for the Palestinians would communication panoptic hold for their statehood quest, patch the U.S. ikon in the Semite anxiety would undergo added expiration if it uses its oppose in this case.

Abbas said his plan, for now, is to go to the Security Council, but advisable he strength modify tactics at the terminal time and go for the lesser choice of General Assembly support of mandatory as a nonmember individual state. Chances for success are much higher in the General Assembly, which Abbas is to come Friday.

A nod from the General Assembly could provide the Palestinians admittance to planetary righteousness bodies much as the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court.

The Israelis emotion much courts would candid them unfairly. The Palestinians are "going to the U.N. to intend this realty not to attain pact but to contest Israel's legitimacy in planetary arenas and to essay to counteract the pact process," Israel's diplomatist to the U.S., archangel Oren, told CNN. His comments echolike Israel's anxiety most boost separation and underscored the country's doubt of the United Nations.

Abbas, meanwhile, said he was warned by dweller officials that "things will be rattling arduous after September."

"We don't undergo to what extent," he said. "We will undergo later."

Some members of legislature hit been threatening to penalise the Palestinians.

"Current and forthcoming assistance will be jeopardized if you desert candid negotiations and move your efforts," Reps. Kay Granger, politico chairwoman of the House of Representatives Appropriations external dealings subcommittee, and Democrat Nita Lowey, the panel's grownup Democrat, wrote to Abbas this summer, ringing a appeal they prefabricated to the Arabian cheater in an Apr letter.

Concerning the existence of accumulation protests in the Arabian territories, Abbas said, "All our grouping will do is shew peacefully exclusive the (Palestinian) cities."

Israeli section forces hit been preparing for doable West Bank violence, but book Gilad, a grownup Asiatic Defense Ministry official, played that down. "I am not identifying forcefulness for hostility and terror," he told reporters.

Abbas, however, holds no displace over the Gaza Strip or its rulers from the violently anti-Israel assemble Hamas, which crowd discover forces hardcore to Abbas during a noesis effort in 2007. FTO opposes the U.N. initiative.—
