Israel Expects U.S. to Block UN Recognition of Palestinian State
(Jerusalem Post) Herb Keinon and Hilary Leila Krieger - Israel is confident the U.S. will block Palestinian moves to get the UN Security Council to recognize a Palestinian state, government officials said Wednesday. Israeli officials said the U.S. was making clear to the Palestinians, Europeans and Arab government that trying to bypass the negotiations and going for a solution imposed by the outside would not be effective. Israeli officials said it was critical that the Palestinians realized all "exit doors" out of the negotiations were closed, and that there were no alternative routes to sitting down and talking directly.
