recognize independent palestine. peace between the photog grouping and their rival, hamas. mahmoud abbas said that reconciliation between palestinian factions would strengthen the peace process and make a two-stage solution more likely. now, he ullike toet the world on board. the palestinians would like a new state comprising the west bank and gaza strip based on the borders before the war in 1967. the borders are far from the only issue to be resolved. the future of israeli settlements is a bone of contention as well as the future status of jerusalem and whether palestinian refugees should be allowed to return to their former homes. more than half of the member states have signaled support for a vote on statehood. many african nations are lining

up support. some european members might come on board perhaps including scandinavian countries and france. germany says that they will not offer their support. they said a u.n. vote to recognize palestine would be counterproductive. >> is the good will is there on both sides, it is possible to get the peace process moving. this would be better than unilateral measures which do not helped. >> barack obama has also warned against a unilateral declaration of independence. >> the efforts to delegitimize efforts will end in failure. symbolic actions to isolate israel will not create an independent state. >> obama supports facing a future state on the 1967 borders. this has angered israel. at the same time, obama says that the palestinians must honor

abbas's society -- desire to put up palestinian statehood for a vote. >> do we have a plan? is there a consensus? that is why people are distracted and confused. there is a division on how to realize this? the other groups are saying, no matter what, this is another step to challenge the israelis and show the world with a stand on palestinian rights. the world has been supporting --, why not palestine? >> people in the gaza strip are uncertain about what will happen. these people document daily life there. they're skeptical what the vote could mean for them. >> i hope that something will change. we have so often spoken of our desire for a palestinian state

for recognition. we are really tired of all of these slogans. i asked myself with this will really put more pressure on israel so that they stick to the u.n. resolutions that are good for us and implement them. >> nothing will change, even if the state is recognized. we will not able to build a truly independent state where palestinians will be able to move freely. >> 60 kilometers to the north in tel aviv, it is like another world. this is a think tank that provides analysis for israeli policy makers. palestinian state hit as seen as a positive step. -- they'd put -- statehood is seen as a positive step. >> this would be a way to anchor

the solution. we have the palestinian state and the state of israel and then we can negotiate in good faith. >> up until now, the government in israel has not shared this opinion. they're concerned about a political backlash of massive dimensions. -- is following the debate closely. she said that the prime minister's government should torpedo the palestinian initiative. >> they are trying to work on what they call a moralinority to convince europe not to support the palestinians on their efforts at the u.n. if you ask me about the israeli people, they are really concerned. >> many israelis have of the concerns.

in tel aviv, people are demonstrating against an affordable housing. for some, theonflict is only one more thing to worry about. >> this was not so important to me. israel always puts security first. now, we have the opportunity to put other things on the agenda. we have a -- they have a right to a state of their own but not unilaterally. i hope that they can find agreement somehow. >> an agreement is nowhere in sight. the debate is only likely to he up as e vote its september approach is. >> that is been our in-depth report. a palestinian state, just a dream? thank you for watching. thanks for the company, everybody.
