(Jerusalem Post) Khaled Abu Toameh - The U.S. on Wednesday officially asked the Palestinian Authority to abandon its plan to ask the UN later this month to recognize a Palestinian state along the pre-1967 lines.

Hale told Abbas that Washington wants to see the Palestinians return to the negotiating table with Israel.
