The Kulanu party, headed by Moshe Kahlon, said that today's bid at the UN by the Palestinian Authority effectively removes the possibility of achieving a diplomatic solution to the regional conflict.
"This is not a tactical move, but a calculated strategic move that is designed to facilitate the Palestinians in litigating against Israel in international institutions so as to have sanctions imposed, Anyone who still thinks that a move like this is does so in order to promote a peace settlement that includes an end to the conflict or future legal actions, and will include recognition of a Jewish and democratic state just deluding himself. It is time for us to take our fate in our hands," party spokespeople stated.
