Palestinian Authority Rejects U.S. Effort to Subvert Statehood Bid

The Palestinian Authority continues to reject last-ditch U.S. efforts to thwart their bid for statehood recognition at the United Nations next week. On Thursday, Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki said Palestinians are open to hearing U.S. pleas, but they are likely too late.

Riyad al-Maliki: "We will see if any of them is carrying with him or her any credible offer that will allow us to look into it seriously, and then of course to be discussed among the Palestinian leadership. Otherwise, the 23rd, at 12:30, the President will submit the application."
