				 Palestine Applies for UN Recognition Representatives of the Arab League met in Doha, Qatar on August 3, to finalize details on Palestinian's United Nations application, for official recognition of a Palestinian state. The Palestinian negotiator, Saeb Erekat, said the application will have a positive impact on the peace process: "Our request for UN permanent membership for the Palestinian State with 1967 borders and capital as Jerusalem, doesn't aim any kind of confrontation or conflict but it is only to maintain the option of two states and to preserve the peace process," Erekat said.
