In veiled threat, Wendy Sherman says if Israeli gov't doesn't show commitment to two-state solution, US will have trouble backing it in UN.
U.S. Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Wendy Sherman
Reuters US Undersecretary of State Wendy Sherman had a harsh message for American Jewish leaders on Monday.
Sherman warned them that if the new Israeli government does not demonstrate a strong commitment to the two-state solution, the US will have trouble assisting it in efforts to halt international initiatives at the United Nations.
Speaking at a conference of the Reform Movement in the United States, Sherman insisted the US government has "always had Israel's back in the international arena, even when it meant standing alone. This will continue to be the case."
But, she continued, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's actions prior to elections "raised questions about his commitment to the two-state solution."
Sherman refers to a series of interviews the Prime Minister gave days before general elections on March 17, in which he vowed not to establish a Palestinian state. Netanyahu later backtracked on his statements.
"We will be watching very closely to see what happens on this [Palestinian] issue after the new government is formed," Sherman added.
"If the new Israeli government is seen to be stepping back from its commitment to a two-state solution that will make our job in the international arena much tougher... it will be harder for us to prevent internationalizing the conflict."
The Undersecretary's remarks come amid renewed efforts on the part of France and New Zealand to draft a UN Security Council resolution to revive long-stalled peace talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority.
Essentially, Sherman's words translate as a veiled threat implying the US may not use its UN veto on such a resolution.

Those nations who turn their back on Israel, GOD will turn His back on them. Lord God, protect those of us who love, support and pray for Israel from the wrath that You are about to unleash on the United States.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has pledged support for the TWO-STATE SOLUTION since his Bar-Ilan speech in 2009, right after Obama became President. Netanyahu strongly reaffirmed his Bar-Ilan speech after his election. He says he has not changed his support for a TWO-STATE SOLUTION!
I don’t know what the White House is yapping about!
Since when did this witch make US policy?
Obama will keep trying to kill the Jews, or at least set them up for the kill, until he’s finally out of office. But the UN can vote 666 times against Israel and it will make zero difference. bHusseinO loses this one.
Obama hates Israel and does his level best to blackmail the Israelis into self-destruction.
What the WH is yapping about is that they know a “two - state solution” will never happen under Netanyahu ‘ s watch, as his conditions are that Israel be recognized as a right to exist and within the presently - existing borders, and that the Arabs/muslims/terrorists/etc lay down their weaponry—which they will never, ever do.
