Palestinian officials today denied reports that they were close to a deal with the Israeli government to abandon their efforts at independence as well as any efforts to achieve recognition in any UN agencies.
The deal, which was reported yesterday by European diplomats, would’ve had the PA abandoning all efforts at statehood in return for Israel returning the Palestinian tax money it has refused to hand over. The US was also said to be involved in the deal.
Top Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat called the deal “nonsense” and said the PA’s focus was entirely on trying to gain support in the UN Security Council. The most recent reports suggested Palestine had eight “yes” votes in the Security Council, one short of the necessary nine needed for membership.
Of course even with sufficient support the United States has said it will veto Palestinian statehood, but with a UNESCO vote suggesting support for Palestinian independence is overwhelming worldwide, the veto would be particularly difficult for the US to justify.
"Netanyahu's special envoy Isaac Molho reportedly met secretly in London on Tuesday with U.S. administration representatives David Hale and Dennis Ross to discuss the suggestion." LOL. More Israeli propaganda.
The Zionist are capable of spreading rumors and propaganda that Goebbels would have been proud of.
Gotta love Abbas, Israel's poodle. He'll lower his pants, bend over and allow them to kick his fat ass and then turn around and lick their boots clean. What a guy!
I don't understand why the Palestinians don't kick Abbas's ass and send him with his masters in Tel Aviv. I thought the man had finally developed a good pair, but he's useless.
