Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas met here today the visiting Belgian Prime Minister Yves Leterme. During the meeting, they discussed the latest developments of the (Middle East) peace process and the Palestinians going to the United Nations for seeking the full membership of the State of Palestine in the World Body, Palestine News and Information Agency "WAFA" reported. The Palestinian President explained that the Palestinian Authority's decision to go to the United Nations was in response to Israeli intransigence and refusal to halt settlements in the Palestinian territory and accept the principle of two-state solution, which is the real reason behind the failure of international efforts to resume negotiations and reach a final solution to all final status issues.
