Gaza, 30 Rabi’ul Awwal 1436/21 January 2015 (MINA)– The PLO Executive Committee will meet in Ramallah Wednesday to discuss a new Palestinian statehood bid at the UN.

Sources close to the meeting, speaking on the condition of anonymity, told Ma’an that the new UN resolution would call for the end of the Israeli occupation within two years, allowing for a year of negotiations.

The negotiations would be sponsored by the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, the sources said, Ma’an News Agency quoted by Mi’raj Islamic News Agency (MINA) as reporting.

The new bid will also call for a Palestinian state on 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital and the implementation of UN resolution 194 on the right of return for refugees.
