(Jerusalem Post) Herb Keinon - PA President Mahmoud Abbas intends to bring a resolution for statehood recognition to the UN General Assembly, possibly as early as Nov. 29, the anniversary of the 1947 UN partition vote. EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton has come out publicly against the move, as have a number of key EU countries, such as Britain and Germany. Even during the height of the Gaza crisis, Netanyahu, during numerous talks he held with various world leaders, asked his interlocutors why they were not calling on Abbas to stop the rockets from Gaza. "They would tell him to 'get serious,' and that Abbas has no control, to which Netanyahu would reply, 'So what is all the talk about statehood recognition at the UN,'" one government source said. The idea was to demonstrate how divorced from reality the whole UN proposal was. The source asked, "If the Palestinians go to the UN and get recognition, next time there is a rocket attack from Gaza, why can't we attack Ramallah, and why can't we take them to the International Criminal Court and accuse them of war crimes?" 2012-11-23 00:00:00Full Article
After UN Statehood Recognition, Will Israel Take the PA to the International Criminal Court?
