Palestinian fishermen prepare their nets for fishing at the beach of Gaza city on Sep. 22, 2011. Palestinians hoped that the blockade is lifted from the sea, and setting "Palestine state 194", representing their hope to become the 194th member state of the UN. Abbas has told the United Nations chief he will seek full U.N. membership for a Palestinian state, setting the stage for a showdown that could upset decades of Mideast diplomacy.
