(State Department) Asked about the draft resolution on a Palestinian state submitted to the UN Security Council, U.S. State Department spokesperson Jen Psaki said Thursday: "We have seen the draft. It is not something we would support, and we think others feel the same and are calling for further consultations....In terms of the specifics of this in its current form, we couldn't support it. We're not currently engaging on the submitted text. Our focus right now is more on consultations with key stakeholders...to find a way forward." "We wouldn't support...any action that would prejudge the outcome of the negotiations or would set a specific deadline for withdrawal of [Israeli] security forces."
