Peres: Palestinians' UN Move "an Illusion"
(AP) Dan Perry - Israeli President Shimon Peres urged a resumption of Middle East peace talks Thursday, dismissing the Palestinians' plan to instead ask the UN for recognition as "an illusion." "It will remain (on) paper and it will raise false hopes," Peres said. Israel would simply ask: "Can you stop terror, United Nations? Can you stop the politics of Iran that finances Hizbullah and finances Hamas? Can you stop the smuggling of arms?...And if the United Nations cannot answer it, so what is the value of their resolution?"
