Palestinians said seeking to join 8 international treaties

"The Palestinian Authority has in recent days filed official requests to join eight international treaties, Hadashot news reported Saturday.

The Ramallah-based government is seeking to join the UN's International Convention against Apartheid in Sports and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, among other treaties, according to the report.

Israel's Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon condemned the 'unilateral move' by the Palestinians.

'The Palestinian leadership is mistaken in thinking that it can establish facts on the ground by making detours and unilateral moves,' Danon said. 'Instead of ignoring the United States and Israel, the Palestinians should stop encouraging terrorism and incitement.'..."
