Palestinian Envoys Clash with Washington over UN State Bid
(Jerusalem Post) Khaled Abu Toameh - Signs of tensions between the Palestinian Authority and the U.S. surfaced over the weekend following a visit to Washington by two senior Palestinian envoys, Saeb Erekat and Nabil Abu Rudaineh. Erekat later said: "They informed us that they would use the veto if we go to the Security Council....They also told us that Congress would vote in favor of cutting off financial aid to the PA if it proceeds with its plan to go to the UN." On Monday, the Quartet is scheduled to discuss the PA's plan for statehood and ways of reviving the peace process.
