<div id="divLead">The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas says the United Nations should recognize a Palestinian state on all the Palestinian territory.</div>
<p>Senior Hamas leader Khalil al-Hayya called on the Palestinian legislative council on Sunday to “apply for recognition of a Palestinian state on all the Palestinian territory and confirmation of the right of Palestinians to live within the borders of this state,” AFP reported.</p>
<p>Hayya made the remarks at a meeting of the Palestinian legislative council in the Gaza Strip, which was attended by democratically-elected Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh.</p>
<p>“We appeal to the UN to invalidate the entity (Israel) that took the decision to establish itself on the land of another,” Hayya said.</p>
<p>He also called on the international community to “apply pressure to ensure the implementation of international resolutions, particularly those that uphold the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination.”</p>
<p>Palestinian officials have been campaigning to achieve UN recognition for an independent state based on the pre-1967 borders at the annual gathering of world leaders at the UN General Assembly, which begins on September 20.</p>
<p>On Friday, Acting Palestinian Authority Chief Mahmoud Abbas announced that he will apply to the UN Security Council for full UN membership of a Palestinian state. This comes while Hamas has considered the plan as a risky move.</p>
<p>The US has made it clear to Abbas that it will outright veto any request presented to the UN Security Council for making the Palestinian state a new member.</p>
<p>However, Washington cannot block the UN General Assembly&#8217;s vote for changing Palestine&#8217;s status in the world body from entity to state.</p>
