But it's hard to see another diplomatic solution Palestinian leadership can set forth that Israel would accept, he added.
WASHINGTON -- A Palestinian effort to seek statehood at the United Nations later this month may be the last, best hope for a negotiated two-state solution, Palestinian officials and business leaders said Thursday.
In addition to giving another nudge to Palestinian statehood without attendant progress towards a negotiated solution, Palestinian membership in the ICC would expose Israel to Court scrutiny for its conduct in the Territories.

"I do not see any other solution for Palestinians or for us or for peace in the future," he said.

"We fear attention to this new military situation will prevail over the main issues of starvation, siege, and the attempt to find a durable solution for Palestinians in Syria and in particular Yarmouk," said Mr Salamah.
He hopes to be a prominent leader in finding a peaceful solution where Palestinians and Israelis can live free of occupation, side by side, with security and dignity.
