Italian Deputies Oppose UN Recognition of Palestinian State
(Jerusalem Post) Benjamin Weinthal - Italian deputy Fiamma Nirenstein told the Jerusalem Post on Wednesday that over 150 of her fellow parliamentarians signed a document rejecting the Palestinian Authority's attempt to circumvent the peace process and convince UN member states to recognize an independent Palestinian state. The letter says: "The Palestinian Authority does not meet the traditional test for statehood - particularly the test of effective government - such that a premature and unilateral recognition of an 'unripe' Palestinian state could have a prejudicial effect on other regional conflicts."
