Merkel: Germany Will Oppose "Unilateral" Palestinian Statehood
(Jerusalem Post) Benjamin Weinthal - German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Thursday voiced her government's opposition to a possible UN resolution creating an independent Palestinian state. "The Federal Republic of Germany is championing a two-state solution....Any kind of unilateral recognition does not promote this goal. This will be our position in September," she said, during a joint press conference in Berlin with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Merkel also said Iran's nuclear program is "more than ever a threat. Everything has to be done to prevent Iran from possessing nuclear weapons."
