This document discusses the potential diplomatic shift in September, where the Palestinian Authority plans to seek full membership in the General Assembly, which is expected to pass. Palestinian leaders anticipate changes in relations with Israel, with figures like Hanna Amireh suggesting a re-evaluation of security commitments and Mr. Shaath warning of legal consequences for Israel. Ari Shavit, writing in Haaretz, compared 2011 to a 'diplomatic 1973,' predicting a diplomatic siege and civil uprising in Israel due to international recognition of a Palestinian state.
