Kemerdekaan Palestina sudah di depan mata. Mumpung jadi presiden buatlah 
sejarah dengan memberikan Palestina kemerdekaan beserta hak-haknya, sebelum  
peluang tersebut diambil pihak lain.

 PLO Welcomes Obama Speech

Date : 6/6/2009   Time : 14:43

RAMALLAH, June 6, 2009 (WAFA)-Chief of the Negotiations Affairs Department in 
the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) Saeb Erakat, welcomed, Friday, US 
President Obama’s speech in Cairo, and applauded his strong commitment to the 
creation of an independent Palestinian state.

 

“This was a very important speech, in which President Obama reinforced the 
message that ending the occupation and establishing a viable and independent 
Palestinian state was in the mutual interest of Palestinians, Israelis and 
indeed the entire world. Progress towards peace hinges on both parties 
implementing their obligations under existing agreements,” Dr Erakat said.

 

“For Palestinians, that means continuing with the progress we have made in the 
areas of governance, security and financial sector reforms. For Israel, it 
includes implementing an immediate and comprehensive settlement freeze, 
including all ‘natural growth’, and lifting all restrictions on freedom of 
movement for Palestinian goods and people.”

 

“President Obama’s speech reinforced the international consensus that exists 
today in support of the two-state solution, and its crucial importance to 
achieving a comprehensive peace in the region. Israel’s refusal to endorse the 
two-state solution, or to implement its obligations under existing agreements, 
remains the key obstacle to moving the peace process forward.”

 

“President Obama also expressed the need to address the daily injustices that 
Palestinians face. This includes the dislocation, dispossession and insecurity 
that millions of Palestinian refugees face, the intolerable realities of 
Israel’s occupation, especially in Gaza, as well as the importance of Jerusalem 
to all faiths and peoples, including Palestinian Christians and Muslims.”

 

“Along with borders, settlements, security, and water, Palestinian refugees and 
the status of Jerusalem are core permanent status issues whose resolution, in 
accordance with international law, holds the key to a just and lasting peace in 
the region.” 

 

“The guidelines are already in place for a just and lasting peace between 
Palestinians and Israelis. International law, existing UN resolutions and prior 
agreements all converge around the establishment of a viable and sovereign 
Palestinian state based on the June 4, 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its 
capital, as well as a just and agreed upon solution for Palestinian refugees in 
accordance with UNGA 194.”

 

“Palestinians and the international community speak today with one voice in 
favor of the two-state solution, based on a shared interest in regional 
stability and comprehensive peace,” Dr. Erakat concluded.
