Minister: Wouldn't be surprised if US also recognizes Palestinian State

Industry, trade and labor minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer said at the opening of the government meeting on Sunday that "he wouldn't be surprised if within a year's time the US were to recognize the Palestinian and then we will have to provide explanations as to how it happened."

 

Ben-Eliezer added that while there was no active negotiation, time was playing against Israel and that the Latin American countries that recognized the Palestinian state were an indication of its status in the international community. Just yesterday Ecuador became the fourth Latin American country to support a Palestinian state. (Ronen Medzini)
