National Council lauds UN flag raising for Palestine
Palestine raised its flag at the United Nations headquarters in New York for the first time on September 30, 2015, in the presence of President Mahmoud Abbas. This was a formal event and considered a historic moment that reinforced the Palestinian state's presence on the international stage. It coincided with ongoing Palestinian political and diplomatic efforts to strengthen the rights of the Palestinian people to self-determination and the establishment of an independent state, amid resistance to the Israeli occupation, which continues its violations, policies of Judaization, and occupation, along with its attempts to thwart peace efforts. Raising the flag is a symbol of Palestinian resilience and a reaffirmation of their inalienable rights, emphasizing the importance of ending the occupation and establishing a Palestinian state on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.
