U.S. Does Not Support Palestinian UN Resolution


(State Department) Asked about the draft resolution on a Palestinian state submitted to the UN Security Council, U.S. State Department spokesperson Jen Psaki said Thursday: "We have seen the draft. It is not something we would support, and we think others feel the same and are calling for further consultations....In terms of the specifics of this in its current form, we couldn't support it.
