“Abbas to UN: Put PA Under International Protection”
by Arutz Sheva   
July 13th, 2014

Chairman Mahmoud Abbas of the Palestinian Authority is to ask the United Nations to put the PA under "international protection" due to the worsening violence in Gaza, the Palestine Liberation Organization said Sunday, according to Agence France Presse. The terror organization said, in a statement, that Abbas would present a letter to this effect to the UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, Robert Serry, addressed to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.

Abbas also wants a commission of inquiry into Israel's air strikes on Gaza, aimed at halting terrorist rocket fire into the Jewish state. The statement was issued after a meeting of the PLO executive. Abbas has asked Switzerland, the depository of the fourth Geneva Convention on the protection of civilians in wartime, to ask signatories to place sanctions on Israel which, as the occupying power, is responsible for the safety of civilians, even though Israel has not occupied Gaza since the summer of 2005.
