Abstract
The Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) submitted a bid to the ‎United Nations (UN) ‎requesting full membership and a recognition of the ‎State of Palestine within the 1967 borders ‎with East Jerusalem as its ‎capital. President Mahmoud Abbas gave a speech at the UN and ‎‎submitted the membership application. The application was forwarded ‎to the Security Council to ‎be studied and voted on. The USA threatened ‎to use the Vito if such petition is presented to the ‎Security Council.‎ An agreement has been signed between Israel and Hamas in Cairo by ‎which Gilad Shalit will be ‎released in return for that Israel will release ‎‎1027 Palestinian prisoners, some from among them ‎are sentenced to ‎long term imprisonment. ‎ The division between the West Bank and the Gaza Strip persists and ‎each side adheres to its ‎precepts without any signs for an imminent end ‎of this division.
