“Palestinians remain embedded in the rejectionist camp. It’s time for Palestinians to change their tune,” the Foreign Ministry tweeted.
The Israeli Foreign Ministry marked the anniversary of the Nov. 29, 1947, United Nations decision to partition British Mandatory Palestine into an Arab state and a Jewish state.
On that day, the U.N. General Assembly adopted the plan as Resolution 181, by a vote of 33-13 with 10 abstentions and one absentee. The resolution gave international backing for the establishment of the State of Israel, which was admitted to the United Nations as a full member on May 11, 1949.
“Almost a century now. Israel said yes to every proposal, seeking engagement & partnership. Palestinians remain embedded in the rejectionist camp. It’s time for Palestinians to change their tune,” the ministry tweeted on Friday.
A banner on the graphic added: “Peace was never their goal. Eliminating Israel is.”
On Nov. 6, Kazakhstan agreed to join the accords, although it already maintained formal ties with Jerusalem.
