Netanyahu: Israel Aims to Offset PA's UN Bid
(Ynet News) Attila Somfalvi - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told European Parliament President Jerzy Buzek in Jerusalem Tuesday he aims to push a diplomatic initiative that would see 30 UN-member nations oppose the unilateral Palestinian bid for statehood in September. "It will not create an opposing majority, but it will balance out the bid's potential support," he said. "Six Israeli prime ministers were willing to accept the two-state solution, but could not reach a peace agreement because the Palestinians would not say six simple words - 'I will accept the Jewish state,'" he added.
