Yesterday the New York Post<\/a> posted an article about the speculation that the United States will declare a Palestinian state in September without Israel’s consent.  <\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

“Abbas claims that the only item that needs to be finished on the way to statehood is for Israel to leave and delineate a border based on the 1949 armistice line.  Yet every document the Palestinians have signed with Israel since the 1993 Oslo Accords clearly states that declaring a state requires the agreement of both sides.<\/em><\/p>\n

“To reach an agreement with Israel, Abbas would need to sign security arrangements, make concessions in Jerusalem and give up the Palestinian demand to flood Israel with Arab “refugees.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“Abbas, however, is politically weak, and making such concessions would spell his doom.  So, instead, he relies on a plan devised two years ago by his prime minister, Salem Fayyed, to declare a state in 2011 regardless of any progress in talks with Israel.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

If this resolution moves forward, it has to go through the Security Council, where the United States has a veto.  A veto would create problems with America’s relationship with Arab nations, not vetoing the move would be a nightmare for peace in the Middle East.  I have no doubt that the first thing a Palestinian state would do would be to arm itself to the teeth and attack Israel.  Their past behavior makes this a real possibility.  That move will not produce peace in the Middle East.  The President needs to speak up now and say that he will veto any move by Palestine to become a state without completing negotiations with Israel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
