Palestinians have every right for membership in international organizations.

Russia’s UN envoy Vitaly Churkin said on Tuesday that the Palestinian Authority could count on Moscow’s support on this matter and that Russia would continue its effort to restart the stuttering Israeli-Palestinian peace process.

Churkin urged Israel to lift the blockade of the Gaza Strip and halt its settlement activity on the West Bank. He also voiced alarm over the recent arrest by the Israeli military of a number of Palestinian officials.
