GAZA CITY – Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has now personally presented Palestine’s bid for full United Nations membership to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon. What remains to be seen is whether Hamas, which has controlled the Gaza Strip since June 2007, will eventually support this initiative by its bitter rival, Abbas’s West Bank-based Palestinian Authority.
加沙——巴勒斯坦主席阿巴斯已经以个人身份向联合国秘书长潘基文递交了巴勒斯坦成为联合国完全会员国的动议。目前还有待观察的是，从2007年6月开始控制加沙地带的哈马斯会不会支持这一由其死对头、阿巴斯领导的位于约旦河西岸的巴勒斯坦权力机构提出的动议。
