Clinton: Palestinian UN Bid "Not Going Anywhere"
(Reuters) Arshad Mohammed and Andrew Quinn - The Palestinians' push for UN membership "is not going anywhere for the foreseeable future, and even if it were, you are not going to get a state through the UN. It's not going to happen," Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Tuesday. "So you have done what you needed to do to signal your seriousness of purpose. Now get back into negotiations where you can actually start talking about borders," she added. The Middle East Quartet issued a statement Sept. 23 calling for the two sides to hold a preliminary meeting within a month that would lead to full-fledged peace negotiations.
