RNA - Ahmad Majdalani, member of the Executive Committee of the PLO, stated that the request for suspending Israel's membership in the United Nations in a way similar to how the South African government was treated during the period of its racist rule, is now at the examination phase both legally and procedurally, WAFA reported.

He told Voice of Palestine radio that the PLO is seeking answers to these questions from the Legal Committee of the international organization.

The PLO official added that since Israel defines itself now as a racist and an apartheid state with its new Nation-State Basic Law and its discriminatory practices, many in the international community would be inclined to support the Palestinian effort.
