Palestinian officials will stay the course in attempting to achieve 'non-member state' recognition at the UN by November 29, despite a request by US President Barack Obama to postpone the move.
Mahmoud Abbas (Photo: Fadi Arouri/Xinhua Press/Corbis) Obama called Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas on Sunday urging him to delay the bid, which is sure to anger US ally Israel. Both Israel and the US have threatened punitive measures if the Palestinian Authority follows through with its plan. Israel has cited a plethora of ways it could punish the occupied state including withholding tax revenues, further settlement expansion and annexation of parts of the West Bank, while the US would utilize punitive financial measures.
