(Ma’an) —  President Mahmoud Abbas says the Palestinian leadership is close to deciding if it will file complaints against Israel at United Nations institutions and courts in November.

He said the leadership would act regardless of threats from either Israel or the United States.

Speaking to Ma’an during his flight to New York, Abbas said the PA was considering possible moves in response to settlement projects which the government of Benjamin Netanyahu is trying to carry out in the West Bank following the military offensive against the Gaza Strip.

Asked about rebuilding war-torn Gaza, the president was cautious in his remarks.

“Reconstruction of Gaza is possible through the national consensus government and through cooperation between Hamas and the Palestine Liberation Organization, and this cooperation must be agreed on quickly between the delegations of Hamas and Fatah to Cairo.”
