With diplomatic words and a statesmanlike demeanor, Mahmoud Abbas applied for full membership for a State of Palestine at the United Nations on September 23, 2011. He appealed to the world's conscience to finally recognize that the Palestinians had suffered for decades due to Israeli settlement policies and needed the recognition of their own state. The chairman of the PLO justified his initiative by referring to the failed negotiations for a peace agreement between Israelis and Palestinians, which had begun in the fall of 2010 with the involvement of the USA and several Arab countries. The Middle East conflict, which has been ongoing for nearly 100 years with numerous wars and violent confrontations, continues.
