Erekat: PA will turn to UN regardless of talks with Israel

Chief Palestinian Negotiator Saeb Erekat said that the PA will go through with it impending UN bid even if Israel presents new negotiation initiatives, because the bid is unrelated to the continuation of the peace talks.

Erekat said that if the US vetoes the PA's bid for statehood, the Palestinian leadership will gather to decide on further action. (Elior Levy)
