Nebenzya: Palestinian membership in the UN will help launch negotiations with Israel
Palestine’s membership in the UN will help launch equal negotiations between Palestinians and Israelis. About this in an interview RIA News stated Russia’s permanent representative to the world organization Vasily Nebenzya.
He recalled that earlier the United States vetoed a resolution recommending that the General Assembly admit Palestine to the UN. As the diplomat explained, in Washington’s understanding, issues of recognition of Palestine and its admission to the UN should be resolved through direct negotiations with Israel.
“At the same time, the United States itself “torpedoed” them, imposing unilateral approaches, bypassing the generally recognized international legal framework with the “two-state” formula approved by the international community,” Nebenzya said.
