US to Punish Palestinian’s UN Step
Local Editor
United States House of Representatives passed Thursday a resolution urging U.S. President Barack Obama's administration to suspend financial assistance to the Palestinian Authority if its leaders push for a United Nations vote for state recognition in September.
The resolution, which was passed by the Senate last week, was voted in by a majority of 407 out of 435 representatives.
Resolution 268 was introduced by House Majority Leader Eric Cantor and House Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer who also called on Obama to use the U.S. power of veto to stop the potential UN vote.
The resolution claims that "Palestinian efforts to gain recognition of a state outside direct negotiations demonstrates absence of a good faith commitment to peace negotiations, and will have implications for continued United States aid."
The Senate resolution was co-sponsored by 87 Senators calls for a review of the reconciliation between Fatah and Hamas.
It also calls for the Palestinian unity government to "publicly and formally forswear terrorism, accept "Israel's" right to exist, and reaffirm previous agreements made with the Government of "Israel".
