Israel PM: Palestinian statehood bid will fail

Israel's prime minister predicted on Sunday that the Palestinians' quest for U.N. membership would fail because it bypasses negotiations with the Jewish state, and said he was working close with Washington to ensure the statehood bid withers in the Security Council.

Benjamin Netanyahu put the blame for stalled negotiations squarely on the Palestinians, who are skeptical of his commitment to peacemaking and have refused to return to the bargaining table without an Israeli freeze on settlement construction.

"The truth is, Israel wants peace, and the truth is, the Palestinians are doing all they can to torpedo direct peace talks," Netanyahu told his weekly Cabinet meeting. "

They must understand that despite the current attempt to bypass negotiations again by going to the U.N., that peace is achieved only through direct negotiations," Netanyahu added. "Their attempt to be accepted as a full member of the U.N. will fail."
