Nice job, Barack.
(JPost) — The Palestinian Authority on Saturday warned the US against using its Security Council veto to thwart its plan to seek UN membership for a Palestinian state this week.
A US veto would “destroy” the two-state solution, the PA said.
The warning came after PA President Mahmoud Abbas announced in a speech in Ramallah that he would ask the UN Security Council to accept membership of a Palestinian state
Erekat hinted that the Palestinians would consider dismantling the PA if the US thwarted their statehood bid.Zakariya al-Agha, the PLO’s top representative in the Gaza Strip, also warned against the consequences of a US veto.
The PA was going to the UN because US President Barack Obama, in his speech to the UN in September 2010, talked about the establishment of an independent and sovereign Palestinian state within one year, Agha said.
