Abbas's government is illegitimate. You would think that the UN would know this. Why would they entertain any proposal from him?
What would happen if the UN goes for his statehood bid and the people say no? This isn't what we want and he had no authority to make that request.
When Abbas goes to the UN to try to backdoor some credabillity for palestinians you call him a hero and a great leader. When he talks compromise with Israel you say he is illegitimate. By your current logic of the day unesco should cancel its reconition of palestine and the security council should table all requests for reconition as well.

No I don't. I think it is a bad idea and he does not have the authority.
Abbas left the government in June of 2007 and his official term in office expired in January of 2009. The "government" in the West Bank was appointed by an ex president and none of them have been approved by parliament as their constitution requires.
You would think that the UN would know this.
This begs the question: What does the US expect to achieve by negotiating with someone who does not have the authority to deliver?
