Egyptian President
Mohammed Morsi on Wednesday urged
the international community to work
immediately toward the establishment of
an independent Palestinian state within
"all the occupied territories."
In a belligerent debut speech before the
UN General Assembly, Egypt's first
democratically-elected president called
for immediate progress that would "put
an end to the colonialism and the
settlements and change the identity of
occupied Jerusalem ."

Three months after winning the general
elections as the candidate of the Muslim
Brotherhood movement, Morsi told the
UN, "I am the first Egyptian president
who was elected in a democratic vote at
the end of the revolution."
Speaking in Arabic, Morsi dedicated the
first part of his speech to god, the
prophet Mohammed and Islam.
