Netanyahu Protests Talk of UN Recognizing PA State
(Ha'aretz) Barak Ravid - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu protested statements made by French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner on the possibility that the UN Security Council would recognize a Palestinian state. Netanyahu asked Kouchner and Spanish Foreign Minister Miguel Moratinos during their meeting Monday for clarification on the matter, and also to relay to PA President Mahmoud Abbas that the Palestinians would not gain a state by forcing a decision at the Security Council - only through direct negotiations with Israel.
