Palestinian People Praying Editorial Image

ISRAEL - AUGUST 30 2011: Palestinian people pray during a protest near the Gaza border on August 30, 2011. Israelis are growing anxious over the international community’s renewed rush to impose a peace settlement on Israel and the Palestinian Arabs. The world’s impatience is being fueled by Palestinian threats to unilaterally declare statehood in September, even in the absence of a final status peace deal. Palestinian leaders have publicly announced that they will declare independence in September and seek UN recognition of Palestine as a sovereign state.
