U.S. in ‘Damage Control’ Mode As Palestinian Leader Says Nothing Can Stop Statehood Bid

NEW YORK (The Blaze/AP) — The United States pressed ahead Monday with intensive talks aimed at averting a showdown over Palestinian statehood at the United Nations this week, asking key Muslim ally Turkey not to allow its rift with Israel to grow wider and hoping to coax cooperation from a noncommittal Russia.

As President Barack Obama and other world leaders headed to New York for the annual U.N. General Assembly session, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton met her Turkish counterpart and was to see Russia’s foreign minister later in the day.

A senior U.S. official said Clinton had encouraged Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu to repair badly strained ties with Israel and play a positive role in resolving the Palestinian issue that is looming large over the General Assembly that opens on Wednesday. A second senior U.S. official added that Washington was particularly concerned about frayed Turkey-Israel ties because the Palestinian confrontation has raised the stakes for further confrontation.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas Says Nothing Can Stop Statehood Bid

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas

Officials said they would like the Turks, who support the Palestinian bid, to lower tensions with Israel by toning down what has been sharp rhetoric regarding the Jewish state in recent weeks. This, the officials said, could improve the atmosphere at the United Nations.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because Clinton’s meetings were private.

Clinton seemed to be referring to a Turkish pledge to send warships to back up any future aid convoy attempting to break the Israeli siege of the Gaza Strip, but officials said that wasn’t specifically discussed.

Israelis fear the statehood bid could further hamper their international standing, having lost a longtime ally in Hosni Mubarak in Egypt and its close partnership with Turkey, the only Muslim nation in NATO.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas vowed not to back down despite “tremendous pressure” on the bid for U.N. recognition and membership in the world body.

Abbas spoke to reporters en route to New York, where he is to seek U.N. membership for “Palestine” in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem, territories Israel captured in the 1967 Mideast War. The U.S. and Israel oppose Abbas’ bid, saying a state can be established only through negotiations.

Abbas has said that negotiations remain his preference, but that they must be based on the pre-1967 war lines and include a halt of all Israeli settlement construction on occupied land.

Abbas said Monday that even if Israel were to agree to those two demands, “we will go to the U.N. because there is no contradiction between negotiations and going to the U.N.”

Abbas insisted that the statehood goal should not derail a resumption of direct negotiations. The U.S. views the Palestinian plan as counterproductive and a potential roadblock to the peace effort. The U.S. has vowed to veto the measure in the U.N. Security Council.

The pressure from the United States and other quarters was matched by feverish efforts to offer the Palestinian leadership a viable plan forward, conscious that the current state of negotiations with the Jewish state is leading nowhere.

Envoys from the Quartet of Mideast peacemakers – the U.S., U.N., European Union and Russia – were planning to meet for a second straight day in New York. Clinton was set to speak about the logjam with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, and various other talks were occurring throughout the city.

The frenetic diplomacy was happening as Abbas arrived Monday in New York to take his case to the Security Council’s 15 members, nine of whose support – and no vetoes – would be needed for passage.

President Barack Obama arrives Monday evening, without a clear plan to successfully persuade the Palestinians to drop their bid. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was scheduled to arrive Wednesday, when the U.N. gathering formally opens.

Obama is scheduled to meet Tuesday with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan in New York, and a bipartisan group of senators is urging the U.S. leader to “send a strong message that the U.S. will forever remain committed to Israel’s security.”

In their joint letter to Obama, they wrote: “It appears that Turkey is shifting to a policy of confrontation, if not hostility, towards our allies in Israel and we urge you to mount a diplomatic offensive to reverse this course.”

Turkey has suspended military ties with Israel, expelled top Israeli diplomats and threatened additional actions unless the Jewish state apologizes for last year’s deadly raid on a Turkish aid flotilla. Israel has stopped short of an apology, only expressing its regret.

Turkey also has lobbied nations to support the Palestinian bid for recognition and U.N. membership.

Turkey’s pursuit of an increasingly muscular foreign policy since the June re-election of its religiously rooted government has worried American officials, who’ve seen disagreements with Turkey also spread into economic issues.

The Palestinians are frustrated by their inability to win from Israel concessions such as a freeze on settlements in the West Bank and east Jerusalem. And with bilateral talks with Israel failing, they see the U.N. route as the only viable route for progress in the short term.

To address the Palestinian concerns, Western officials have discussed the possibility of including some timeframes, however vague, in any statement put out by the Quartet, officials said. These would focus on the restart of Israeli-Palestinian talks and signs of tangible progress once negotiations begin.

The timeframes wouldn’t be deadlines, as such, but are aimed at addressing the Palestinian desire to see quick action. The offer would come with an unchanged message that Washington would veto the Palestinian bid at the Security Council for U.N. recognition and membership, but at the very least it would represent a dignity-saving compromise for Abbas’ U.S.-backed government.

But, of course, you can’t see that because your heart is filled with hatred toward those whose tax dollars pay the freight.

      The US position has always been a “two state solution” including an independent state of Palestine. From wiki: All recent US Presidents have maintained a policy that Israel must give up some of the land that it conquered in the 1967 war in order to achieve peace;[9] that the Palestinians must actively prevent terrorism; and that Israel has an unconditional right to exist. Presidents Clinton and Bush II publicly supported the creation of a new Palestinian state out of most of the current Palestinian territories, based on the idea of self-determination for the Palestinian people,[10] and Obama has continued that policy.[11]

      Our foreign policy for the 16 years or more has been to support a independent Palestinian state as part of an overall plan for peace in the region.

      What’s missing from this thread is that, if the vote comes up for Palestinian statehood, outside a broader agreement, President Obama would have to veto the motion in support of Israel. That’s simply a continuation of US policy.

Obama’s economic policies have hurt this country and will continue to do so for years unless we can severly cut non-essential spending and drop taxes to a much smaller rate.

      So long as rockets are being lobbed over the fence, how can anyone expect Israel to give up anything? And were the rocket attacts to stop tomorrow, since there are no assurances they won’t resume, why should Israel budge an inch! The Palestinians have had opportunity after opportunity to settle peacefully, but they have had irresponsible leaders that wanted an all or nothing solution–so they got the mess they are in and they got there by their own choices! They could settle peacefully without Israel budging an inch! I wonder what we’re going to do when the Mexicans try the same tactics in our country?

Then I started getting enlightened and saw these people are HARMLESS. I have asked on numerous boards where I have yet to get an answer as to why they are hated. Plenty of hateful b/s and excuses but NO ONE will list the reasons why they are hated.
      pro palestine(pp)“They are bad”
      q “well why?”
      pp: ” b/c they stole our land”

      I had the same question as to the cause. I did some research, and it was a Jewess that allegedly gave poison to Mohammad causing his death. It wasn’t a Jewish conspiracy. It was just one Jew that caused his death. From that point on, the Koran had written into it the hatred for the Jews. Considering the times then, and there was no muslim religion yet, it was one person killing another. That was a very long time ago, in a very different world. Obviously it shows that muslims can’t learn anything, they have no sense of forgiveness, and they have no interest in peace until they exterminate all those people (hundreds of years later) for killing one man. Even God didn’t take punishment that far when Cain slew Abel.

    Two blaring issues just burst out of this article. The first being that Palestine is led by two internationally recognized terrorized groups; Hamas and Hezbollah. Israel should first point out this fact if Palestine gains state hood that the very strong possibility of an Iranian influenced terrorist groups will be at the helm of this new nation, which is absolutely unacceptable and could lead to a full fledged war between Israel and the new state of Palestine.

    The second issue, and I quote from the article: “Abbas spoke to reporters en route to New York, where he is to seek U.N. membership for “Palestine” in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem”.
    East Jerusalem contains the birth spot of Lord Jesus Christ, The Mount Calvary where Jesus was crucified to the remains of King Salomon’s Temple and the “wailing wall”. All of this will fall into the hands of a new Palestinian state led by two terrorist organizations who are influenced by Tehran.
    From the obvious band against Christians visiting these holy sites, to the probability of radical Muslims vandalizing and even destroying the roots of Christianity and one of holiest sites of Judaism, to the further compromise of the Israeli state will lead to an immediate war between Israel and Palestine and the possibility that Israel will be the first nation to exit the UN, setting the stage for other nations to follow, leaving the UN in the unenviable position of that of the League of Nations.

    They are leaving out the ONE WHO CAN.

    GOD ALMIGHTY CAN. Maybe HE will just take Palestine out of ISRAEL and put it into some of those other palestinian countries over there? Sounds like a plan to me!

      1) You’re shouting again – you know that’s why no-one at your last church would speak to you
      2) The plan is to take Israel out of the parts of Palestine they invaded not the other way round
      3) What “other Palestinian countries”?
      4) Which God would you like to intervene?

    U.S. not in damage control… the Obama administration (Obama) will be in damage control mode. LEAVE THE REST OF US OUT OF IT.

      Agreed, but millions did… what a shame we have that many knuckleheads in our country. Hopefully this time around many of them will have shaped up and paid attention… but I doubt it. Sad.

    Thanks a lot OBAMA! The only reason this is coming to a head is because the world knows you are weak and not a friend to Israel! Your plan is coming together nicely isn’t it OBAMA and CLINTON?

    Congradulations Mr Obama, soon enough history will remember you as the great destroyer who set the Middle East on fire and started the Third World War.

      My thoughts exactly. But I believe it is going exactly how SOROS, OBAMA and CLINTON planned it.

      I’m afraid you are correct. Started with the speech in Egypt right after he was elected–now he can’t pull back from what he started. Meddler-in-chief.

      Perhaps that is why he giggled when he spoke of George Washington today.

      Israel pushes the button and all the sand in the middle east turns to a sheet of glass. Israel has the responsibility to protect itself from Palestine, Turkey, Egypt , Samantha Power and Obama.

      @ Steelhead

      Yep, got me some survival supplies. When you come looking for some, I‘ll be sure my Rem 870 Mag Express says you don’t get any.

      If you can’t think far enough ahead to see how this move will only end in a very nasty war, you are far dumber than your comment first showed you to be.

      Won’t matter if you call it WWIII. It will be nasty.
