Haley: Palestinians "Not Serious" about Peace


(VOA News) Margaret Besheer - U.S. Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley said Wednesday that the Palestinian Authority was "not serious" about the peace process, and she threatened to withhold future funding if they did not move toward talks. "We are not going to reward bad behavior," she said in an interview. "Here you've got the Palestinians who are basically saying they are going to cut the U.S. out of the peace process. They are saying that they no longer want to have anything to do with us....By the Palestinians cutting us out of the peace process, it shows they are not serious in truly getting to peace." "They go and take us to the United Nations and are basically very hostile in what they say and what they do. We are not going to pay to be abused. It doesn't make sense." Haley suggested that UNRWA could find new donors among the countries that rejected the U.S. decision on Jerusalem.
