U.S.: Israeli-Palestinian Dispute Cannot Be Resolved in the Security Council
(State Department) State Department spokesperson Victoria Nuland said Wednesday: "Shouting from the rooftops of the Security Council is not going to change the situation on the ground, which is that these parties [Israelis and Palestinians] have to get back to the table and settle these issues together, and that's the way we're going to have a lasting, stable peace." "The answer to the problems in Israel with the Palestinian people can only be resolved when they sit down and talk to each other. They cannot be resolved in the Security Council."
