The New and Independent Palestinian State

Declaration of the state in 1988

A declaration of a "State of Palestine" took place in Algiers on November 15, 1988, by the Palestinian National Council, the legislative body of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO). The proclaimed "State of Palestine" is not and has never actually been an independent state, as it has never had sovereignty over any territory in history.

Currently, the Palestinian National Authority (PNA), along with the United States, the European Union, and the Arab League, envision the establishment of a State of Palestine to include all or part of the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem, living in peace with Israel under a democratically elected and transparent government. The PNA, however, does not claim sovereignty over any territory and therefore is not the government of the "State of Palestine" proclaimed in 1988.

The current position of the Palestinian Authority is that all of the West Bank and Gaza Strip should form the basis of a future Palestinian state. Since 1993 the PLO has been negotiating with Israel and signed the Oslo Accord in order to establish an independent Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza; but unfortunately Israel hs been avoiding to implement these agreements and keept confiscating Palestinian land to build more israeli settlements. The Palestinians are decided to go to the United Nation to clim their right of having their indipendent state on the land that belongs to them. We pray for the success of this peaceful move and we hope the all the nation members support this right to make justice for the Palestinian people who have been suffering for decades.
