Rice: U.S. Not Involved
In Negotiations Over
Palestinian Text At U.N.
NEW YORK (JTA) - Susan Rice,
the U.S. ambassador to the United
Nations, said America is not involved
in trying to tone down a draft U.N.
resolution on Palestinian statehood.
"We're not negotiating any text,
we're not engaged in efforts to water
down a text:' Rice said Thursday in
a briefing with Jewish journalists.
"We're making the case that this is not
a productive course'
Rice dismissed as false rumors that
a draft text even exists, but she said
the Europeans were talking with the
Palestinians about the substance of a
resolution.
"There is no Palestinian text yet:'
she said. "Nobody in New York has
seen one
The Obama administration has
vowed to veto any Palestinian state-
hood resolution that reaches the U.N.
Security Council. But a resolution
favoring Palestinian membership in
the United Nations likely would win
passage in the U.N. General Assembly,
where the majority of member
nations already have recognized a
Palestinian state bilaterally, albeit in
varying forms.
Rice warned that such a measure
"would not be without consequences
in the real world."
Members of Congress have
proposed revoking U.S. aid to
the Palestinian Authority if the
Palestinians seek U.N. recognition
next week, and Israeli officials have
warned that Israel could respond to
unilateral Palestinian action at the
United Nations with everything from
suspension of tax payments to the
Palestinian Authority to annexation of
parts of the West Bank.
Rice's first briefing for journalists
from the Jewish media came as the
Obama administration is reaching
out to American Jews in an effort to
bolster support for President Obama
and convince Jewish voters and fund-
raisers that he is pro-Israel. The upset
loss by the Democratic candidate in
this week's special congressional race
in New York is being cast by many as
a Itgn that Jewish voters, who com-
prise a large proportion of a district
represented by Anthony Weiner until
his scandal-induced resignation, are
disenchanted with the president, par-
ticularly on Israel issues.
Rice sought to counter the notion
that Obama has fallen short of the
mark on Israel. She said Obama has
done more than any previous presi-
dent to ratchet up the pressure and
sanctions on Iran, and has enhanced
Israel's security by increasing foreign
military financing. She also noted
the praise that Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu and ex-Mossad
chief Ephraim Halevy lavished on
Obama for helping secure the safe
release of Israeli diplomatic personnel
in Cairo who were trapped in their
embassy last Friday while an Egyptian
mob broke into and ransacked the
building.
Columbia Denies Any
Involvement With
Ahmadinejad Visit
NEW YORK (JTA) — Columbia
University clarified that a Fox News
report suggesting that Columbia's
president was involved in an event
next week for Iranian President
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was false.
An Israeli group, the Shurat HaDin-
Israel Law Center in Tel Aviv, had sent
a letter to Columbia President Lee
Bollinger condemning his alleged
involvement with the event, saying
the university could be liable to legal
repercussions. JTA reported the send-
ing of that letter.
The erroneous Fox News report
was based on a story in the Columbia
student newspaper that reported that
members of Columbia's International
Relations Council and Association
were invited via email to a private
meal Sept. 21 with Ahmadinejad.
Some 15 students will attend the din-
ner, which is still tentative, according
to the Columbia Spectator. The dinner
is not a Columbia event.
Ahmadinejad is coming to New
York to participate in the annual
meeting of the United Nations
General Assembly this week. His con-
troversial address at Columbia in 2007
embroiled the campus in a debate
over freedom of speech and academic
freedom.
When Bollinger hosted
Ahmadinejad at the university that
fall, he drew much criticism, even
after he introduced the Iranian
leader with a scathing rebuke of Iran's
human rights record.
Jewish-Arab American
Detained On 9-11 Raps FBI
