Ramallah: Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has issued a presidential decree
replacing the Palestinian National Authority (PNA) with the State of Palestine
and ordering the use of its logo on all Palestinian official documents and
transactions.
According to the presidential decree, the State of
Palestine will be used instead of the PNA and all Palestinian embassies in
countries which recognise Palestine should implement this measure
immediately.
Abbas’s decree said that as per the UN General Assembly
resolution No G A 11317, which upgraded the state of Palestine to a non-member
observer state, and under the recommendations of the Palestinian committee
commissioned to implement the UN resolution, all the Palestinian official
documents, transactions, stamps, board signs and internal mail will use the
State of Palestine rather than the name "PNA" with immediate effect.
