(VOVworld) - The Palestinian Liberation Organization’s Central Council on Monday approved a series of retaliatory resolutions against Israel. It has decided to press its bid for statehood by signing Palestine on to 63 international UN conventions. However, the decision of when to turn to the United Nations over Palestine's inclusion in the accords was left to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. Besides, PLO asked the UN Security Council and UN General Assembly to condemn Israel for settlement construction, anti-Palestinian actions in Jerusalem, and harm to the status of churches and mosques. PLO’s acts were followed by Israel’s cancellation of peace talks last week after Abbas’s Fatah movement had signed a unity agreement with Hamas. Both sides have conducted a month of diplomatic tug of war that began when Israel refused to carry out its last scheduled release of Palestinian prisoners.
