Clinton: UN Not the Place to Resolve Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
(State Department) Secretary of State Hillary Clinton responded Sunday to a question regarding Palestinian moves to seek UN backing for statehood or action against Israel: "We continue to believe strongly that New York is not the place to resolve the long-standing conflict and outstanding issues between the Israelis and the Palestinians. We do not think that that is a productive path for the Palestinians or anyone to pursue....We also believe that a concerted effort to enable the parties to return to negotiations that will permit them to make progress together is in everyone's interests."
