Taking charge of Group of 77, which encompasses 134 developing countries, Abbas slams Israels occupation of the state of Palestine, condemns terrorism in all its forms Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas assumed the chairmanship of the largest bloc of countries at the United Nations on behalf of the State of Palestine on Tuesday in New York City.
The Palestinians are slated to serve as the leader of the bloc, known as the Group of 77, for the next year.
In a speech at the UN headquarters, Abbas called the task of leading the Group of 77 a great responsibility.
"I am pleased to take over today the chairmanship of the Group of 77 on behalf of the Palestinian people and the State of Palestine, he said, addressing the bloc. It is a great responsibility that the State of Palestine will bear with complete humility, sincerity and dedication.
The Group of 77 is a consortium of 134 developing countries that often works together in the UN General Assembly. The body was originally founded in 1964 with 77 countries, including Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Brazil, Thailand and India. Over the years, it has grown to include countries such as South Africa, Qatar, Cuba, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Singapore, and Angola, and currently represents some 80 percent of the worlds population.

While it serves as the leader of the body, Palestine will be able to cosponsor proposals and amendments, make statements, and raise procedural motions.
This should help light a few fires if there aren’t enough burning already. Crazy times.

Interesting timing that the globalist illuminati has pushed this group of stooges to the forefront - must have some extra dirty dirty work in mind to be done.

N stands for Nations. Palestine is not a nation in any sense, merely a figment of Arafat’s imagiNation.

Sort of like appointing Adolf Hitler as the head of the League of Nations inbetween reoccupying the Rhineland, annexing Danzig and part of Czechoslovakia, signing the hidden Ribbentropp-Molotov Treaty (3), and getting ready for the invasion of France and Poland.
Oh, an Abbas is a fame of Hitler.
Otherwise, there is nothing wrong with this appointment!

Time for the U.S. to save a LOT of money which could be used for the wall. Exit the stinkin’ antisemitic slime pit AKA the U.N. and sell the building. Kick those scum out of the U.S.

So a territory is now leading nations?
This is forehead slapping idiotic.
If Israel didn’t have their wall, there would be hundreds of suicide bombings per year. So the U.N. decides to reward them.
The U. N. is so damned infuriating. And the E.U. is built of the same manure.

the UN has put the financier of the MUNICH OLYMPIC
atrocity as its head.
the UN should be removed OUT of the USA to an island
