PM: PA attempt to become a permanent UN member will fail
None
The Palestinian attempt to become a permanent UN member will fail," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said at the start of Sunday's cabinet meeting in Jerusalem.
According to Netanyahu, full UN membership was "the goal the Palestinians outlined a year ago and it is the goal that Abu-Mazen put forth on Friday. The UN Security Council is like the government of the UN and I am certain that as a result of the American actions and the tight cooperation with (Washington) and other governments, this attempt will fail."
