An American Envoy of David Hale and Denis Ross failed in their mission in convincing the Palestinians not to go to the United Nations. The envoy made it clear to the Palestinians that “the US is against the bid of a UN state”. According to Palestinian spokesmen who spoke with “Al-Hayat”, Ross and Hale didn’t have any offer to appeal the negotiations; they only explained the negative consequences of going to the UN, including “cutting out the Aids from the Palestinians.” The U.S. Secretary of State, Hilary Clinton spoke to Abbas and asked him to “cooperate with the US to avoid a negative scenario in New York by the end of September.” The Secretary of the Executive Committee of the PLO, Yasser Abed-Rabbo, said in a meeting with some peace activists in Ramallah, that he “will ask for an International conference after the recognition of the Palestinian State in September to solve the case after the UN decision.” He also added that he will ask for state borders according “to the 4th of June, 1967”, announce the settlements as illegal work and start negotiations with the Occupation according to a given time frame. Assistant U.S. Secretary of State, Wendy Sherman, declared that “the US will use the Veto against any attempt for the recognition of the Palestinian State.” Sherman said in a hearing session in front of the U.S. Senate that “in case there would be any decision concerning the recognition of the Palestinian State in the UN, we will use the Veto against it.” She also added that “the US President, Barack Obama, the US Secretary of State, Hilary Clinton, and myself will do our best to make sure this subject won’t move forward”.
