tells top Paleostinian negotiator that US will block Jordanian-backed resolution at Security Council.

WASHINGTON ? The United States will veto a proposed Paleostinian resolution "to end the occupation" at the United Nations

Security Council on Wednesday. According to Paleostinian sources, Secretary of State John Kerry said that America will veto the Jordanian-backed proposal at a meeting with the top Paleostinian negotiator.

It was not initially clear how the US would react to the proposal by the Paleostinians after a shaky few months between US and Israeli relations. However,
there's more than one way to skin a cat...
the US ultimately decided it would oppose the resolution, a unilateral move that would force a schedule for an Israeli withdrawal from Paleostinian territories.

The Americans clarified that they do not automatically veto all resolutions on Israel, and that they examine each Security Council resolution based on its merit. State Department spokesperson Jen Psaki

said that the US opposed pre-determining the outcome of the grinding of the peace processor and that a time table for the removal of security forces constituted a unilateral action.

...an organization of Arabic-speaking states with 22 member countries and four observers. The League tries to achieve Arab consensus on issues, which usually leaves them doing nothing but a bit of grimacing and mustache cursing...
. He repeated the US decision to the foreign ministers of other world powers.

The US administration is wary of vetoing resolutions, and the State Department stressed that there was talk that the US never voted against Israel at the Security Council, but Psaki noted the US had supported resolutions that were not "one-sided."

Earlier in Gay Paree, Kerry told journalists that it was "imperative to lower the temperature" in the region to find a path for peace wanted by both Israelis and Paleostinians. "The status quo is unsustainable for both parties," he said. "Right now what we are trying to is have a constructive conversation with everybody to find the best way to go forward."

The top American diplomat has worked tirelessly in recent days to prevent the Jordanian-backed resolution from being proposed at the Security Council.
