I've Been Thinking:On Wednesday Jordan, a member of the United Nations Security Council, will submit a proposal for Palestinian statehood.
The draft resolution for Palestinian statehood was crafted jointly by Jordan and The Arab League. The resolution contains two elements -- one of them is a deadline. By November, 2016 a Palestinian state will emerge with United Nations recognition.
The second element in the resolution is that the new state will be located within the pre 1967 borders.
This resolution will go into effect regardless of whether a negotiated resolution is reached between Israel and the Palestinians.
Everyone, supporters of Israel and supporters of Palestinian statehood alike, are wondering what the United States will do.
Will the United States use their veto? Or will the United States articulate its frustration with Israel and support Palestinian statehood by fiat and not through negotiations?
Wednesday is the day.
