'Palestinian negotiator': We may ask UN for recognition

'Palestinian' chief negotiator bottle washer Saeb Erekat told Haaretz that the 'Palestinians' may ask the United Nations Security Council to recognize a unilaterally established 'Palestinian' reichlet in the territory liberated by Israel in 1967.

The Palestinian Authority is considering seeking recognition from the United Nations Security Council of a Palestinian state along 1967 lines with East Jerusalem as its capital, senior negotiator Saeb Erekat told Palestinian newspaper Al-Ayyam in a report published Saturday.

Erekat said that the Palestinian Authority has already received support for the idea from other Arab states and added that Russia and UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon have also apparently expressed support for the plan.

Erekat also said that Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas is trying to garner additional support for the proposal during his current visit to South American countries.

Will Obama cast an American veto? I doubt it.

What could go wrong?
