israel gives France an "Offer" it can't refuse. France gets the message
France to Palestinians: ‘Don’t resubmit U.N. statehood resolution’
ed note–but remember, any connection
between France’s stated intention of recognizing Palestinian statehood
and the massacre at the cartoon factory are TOTALLY AND COMPELTELY
UNCONNECTED AND UNRELATED, and anyone suggesting that Israel would
deliver a little payback to France for threatening such an abomination
is an filthy anti-Semitic conspiracy theorist.
France warned the Palestinians against
antagonizing Israel by resubmitting a statehood resolution to the United
Nations Security Council.
France, which voted for the resolution
on Dec. 30, was reacting Tuesday to the announcement made two days
earlier by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas that he would
soon resubmit the resolution, Reuters reported.
The resolution before the 15-nation council came up one vote short of the necessary nine needed for passage.
“While we think the Palestinians have
the right to move the status quo, at the same time there has to be an
effort to find a consensus solution,” Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius
told reporters, according to Reuters. “Once you set this cycle off, you
get results that you don’t want one way or another.”
Fabius indicated that France likely would vote for a new Palestinian resolution provided the wording remains basically the same.
Israel’s Foreign Ministry summoned Patrick Maisonnave, France’s ambassador to Israel, on Jan. 2 to explain his country’s vote.
