Secretary of State Marco Rubio cautioned that moves to support Palestinian statehood could embolden Hamas to abandon its already wafer-thin peace commitments.
At a meeting of EU foreign ministers in Copenhagen, Denmark Barrot said “A UN General Assembly meeting … should not be subject to any restrictions on access.”
The U.S. said the PA’s statehood campaign and legal actions against Israel helped derail Gaza peace talks and hardened Hamas’ stance on releasing hostages.
