US Ambasaador: Recognition of PA State Will Hurt Peace

U.S. Ambassador to the UN Susan Rice said Monday that recognizing an Arab state in Judea, Samaria and Jerusalem would not bring peace – and would, in fact, complicate any possibility of an agreement between Israel and the PA.

Rice made the comment during a Security Council discussion on the PA's bid to have the Security Council accept an Arab state in Judea, Samaria and Jerusalem as a UN member.
