TEL AVIV – In a dramatic development following the Paris peace summit on Sunday, the United Kingdom refused to sign a joint declaration calling for a two-state solution, saying the document may “harden” the Palestinian stance on negotiations.

The UK was notably absent from the conference, which convened representatives and foreign ministers from around 70 nations, including Secretary of State John Kerry; it sent only a junior delegation to act solely in an “observer status.” According to the Guardian, this was a deliberate decision in order to “stay close to Donald Trump’s administration.”

Did Kerry bring Obama’s UN whore with him, or was he there flicking his lizard tongue alone?

The UK refuses to get sucked it again by Obama like they did at the UN ,D’oh

[Grampa Dave]

Trump had reportedly expressed his opposition to the conference and out of deference to him, the UK did not dispatch any senior diplomats to attend it.

Decoded message: Trump wins again. Israel finally wins.

Good for the Brits. Prime minister May is turning out to be OK so far.

It would be nice to have the list of the 70 countries that attended this meeting. It would also be useful to find out the level of each country's representative.

Well, we can be sure they were mostly insects so they must have feared Kerry’s flicking tongue.

Lap them right up.

At last Theresa May does something constructive rather than just hot air about what she intends to do... eventually, probably. Let us hope that this is a sign of things to come but I won’t be holding my breath.

I still think Obama stabbed the UK in the back on that UN resolution. I am betting a case of Tastycakes that the UK had a understanding that the US would veto that vote, allowing the UK to appease its heavy Muslim population.

[Bob434]

could the UK veto the vote? I think only a select few nations could- but I don’t know for sure- /If so it would be nice if the UK stepped up and actually vetoed the vote

[mware]

Yes, the UK is one of the 5 nations that could have vetoed the vote. I really think that the UK thought we had their back.

I know it happens all the time in our Congress, especially with states that have Dem representatives but their state is blue on issues like 2nd amendment rights.

Good for you, Tommy.

Good on the UK. There’s still hope.
