The Obama administration is making a desperate last-minute attempt to return to the “peace process” and stop the Palestinian Authority from going to the United Nations for recognition, The New York Times reported Sunday morning.
It said that the United States has presented a new proposal to bring PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas back to direct discussions with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, but while ”the Israelis have so far responded positively to the draft… the Palestinian position remains unclear.”
Details of the proposal are not known, but it generally reflects President Barack Obama’s new “roadmap” he stated in May, including a return to old borders with the possibility of “land swaps.”
Abbas has rejected the idea, and there is a near-zero chance that Arabs with Israeli citizenship would agree to give up their rights and become citizens of a Palestinian Authority country.
Abbas also has refused to recognize Israel as a “Jewish state,” a statement that would preclude fulfilling his desire to flood Israel with several million foreign Arabs claiming the right to live in the country.
The State Department has appealed to approximately 70 countries to vote against a General Assembly non-binding resolution that would recognize the Palestinian Authority as an independent state based on its unilateral territorial demands.
The pro-Arab General Assembly is almost certain to back the resolution, but the United States is trying to narrow the margin if it cannot convince Abbas to return to talks with Israel.
The resolution, if passed, would change the Palestinian Authority’s status from a non-voting observer to that of a “state” although it would not have full membership.
However, the PA would be able to join United Nations committees and run to the International Criminal Court with charges against Israel. .....

It says something when they would go to another to get peace mandated on another party that is willing to negotiate.
This can only be anti-semitic and the world is enabling it
islamists want Israel destroyed. There can be no peace with such people.
I guess time will tell. The way I see it Obama has made this nation and himself such a laughingstock that nobody cares what he wants or has to say.
Suggest we concentrate upon that one.
islam.exe should be ended, then the peace.exe can run.
Better: Obama is desperate. The sharks smell “blood in the water.”
A reporter should ask Obama if he thinks peace would ensue if his allies could just manage to kill every Jew in the Middle East.
Oh, but there is a peace process. The whole Oslo was designed to make peace in Saudi Arabia, Beirut and Jordan, by giving the PLO a fiefdom of its own, so they’d leave America’s “friends” alone and just peacefully murder Jews and Palestinians.
Palestinians want no part of a Palestinian state. Jerusalem Arabs are applying for Israeli citizenship in record numbers, and those with Jordanian citizenship and enough money to start over are leaving for Jordan. If the PLO were given a state on a silver platter with everyone’s blessings, they’d soon be dead, and Hamas would rule supreme. They know it. This is all grandstanding and trying to sound as if they’re serious. They’re serious about stuffing their pockets and bull-@#$#ing along indefinitely.
All show, not serious
Time to just get with it. There will be a war. We don’t intend to lose it.
Agreed, 0bama is not serious about peace
