UNITED NATIONS — The Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas, accused Israel on Friday of failing to negotiate in good faith, saying any return to negotiations would be “naïve at best,” and called on the United Nations Security Council to press for a specific deadline to end Israeli occupation.

“It is impossible and I repeat — it is impossible — to return to the cycle of negotiations that failed to deal with the substance of the matter and the fundamental question,” Mr. Abbas said at the annual session of the General Assembly, reading from a prepared text but visibly enraged.

“The time has come to end this settlement occupation,” he said.

His speech, however, was short on details. He did not offer his own deadline for an Israeli withdrawal, as some had expected, nor did he say anything about joining the International Criminal Court, which his aides have repeatedly said he is prepared to do. He only hinted that he would seek accountability for alleged war crimes against Palestinians during the latest war with Israel.

“In the name of Palestine and its people, I affirm here today: We will not forget and we will not forgive, and we will not allow war criminals to escape punishment,” Mr. Abbas said in his 30-minute address.
