United States, September 8, 2011

 

United States said it would veto the proposal of the creation of a Palestinian state in the UN, in case that was brought to the Security Council.

Victoria Nuland, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Department of State said there should be no surprise in “the United States opposing an initiative of the Palestinians in New York to try to establish a state that can not be obtained only by negotiation.”

She added that “if anything [to go in this sense] is voting in the Security Council,the United States will veto it.”

Nabil Abu Rudeina, spokesman for Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said that they will still present a project.

“We go to the Security Council to protect the rights of the Palestinian people and the idea of ​​a two-state solution,” he said.

“We do not want problems with the U.S. administration but we are engaged in negotiations on a [border] line like the one of 1967,” he added.
