Pyongyang, September 29 (KCNA) -- The Malaysian Foreign Ministry in a statement on Sept. 25 clarified the stand of supporting Palestine's plea for a full membership in the United Nations and rebuked Israel's claim that Palestinian's refusal to accept the Jewish state was the core of the conflict.

The illegal construction of the Jewish settlements is the cause of driving the process of the regional peace into a crisis, the statement said, urging the Israeli authorities to stop at once the moves for expanding the settlements.
