Palestinians to lobby UN if prisoners **t freed on time
 

http://l.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/kkB...e1f27cebea.jpgPalestinian leaders on Tuesday threatened to renew their diplomatic push at the United Nations if Israel fails to free Arab prisoners as scheduled this weekend. When US-sponsored Israeli-Palestinian peace resumed in July, Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas agreed that for their nine-month duration he would shelve efforts to use the UN's **vember 2012 recognition of Palestine as a **n-member observer to press for membership in international bodies where it could fight Israeli occupation. In exchange for the diplomatic ceasefire Israel was to release 104 Arabs imprisoned since before the 1993 Oslo peace accords between the sides. "We shall turn to the UN's international organisations if Israel does **t release the fourth and final group of prisoners," said Yasser Abed Rabbo, secretary-general of the Palestine Liberation Organisation's executive committee.
