Taking charge of Group of 77, which encompasses 134 developing countries, Abbas slams Israel’s ‘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 world’s population.
In October 2018, the General Assembly voted by an overwhelming majority to temporarily grant Palestine additional rights and privileges, allowing it to head the Group of 77.
While it serves as the leader of the body, Palestine will be able to cosponsor proposals and amendments, make statements, and raise procedural motions

We are living in interesting times.
I vote for relocating the entire UN to the Marianas Trench.
Get totally out of the UN. NOW!!
“Abbas slams Israel’s ‘occupation of the state of Palestine,” There never has been a state of Palestine. This is just abslute insanity by the Jew haters known as Moslems.
I 100% support this medical procedure that you propose :-)
Am I missing something? There is no country called Palestine at the moment. Yes they have some administrative control over small territories but Palestine is not a nation state. So how is a non-nation state a member of the UN, nevermind slated for a leadership role?
[Taking charge of Group of 77, which encompasses 134 developing countries, Abbas slams Israel’s ‘occupation of the state of Palestine,’...]
The Antichrist’s world-governing friends await him with open arms.
“I vote for relocating the entire UN to the Marianas Trench.”

Great post! The so called Palestinians are Arabs who are carrying a three thousand year old grudge. They must repent and turn to the G-d I’d Israel. If they refuse to repent they will be ground to powder. The wind will carry them away. But if they convert they can be in the Kingdom. Let us pray that they will.
I wonder how much of taxpayer money went to secure that for the Palestinians.
They are also infecting American politics as seen in the Midterms.
[Great post!] Thank you.
Daniel prophesied of the times that are coming.
Christ even referenced Daniel’s prophecies.
And of course, who could forget such giants as Ezekiel and Zechariah.
I post to tell the world that the God of Israel is real and His Words will be fulfilled, to the letter, 100%.
Doesn’t mean I don’t struggle like everyone else. But I have never doubted the prophecies given by God will happen.
We are heading towards those times.
