Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations, Ron Prosor, sent a classified cable to the Foreign Ministry last week, stating that Israel stands no chance of rallying a substantial number of states to oppose a resolution at the UN General Assembly recognizing a Palestinian state in September.

Israel Foreign Ministry sources estimate that 130-140 states will vote in favor of the Palestinians

A major question mark remains over the position of the 27 member states of the European Union.

A senior source at the Foreign Israel Ministry, which is busy trying to foil the Palestinian move at the UN, said that so far only five western countries have promised Israel they would vote against recognition of a Palestinian state – the U.S., Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and the Czech Republic.
“Most western countries will not be willing to be in the hall and vote against a Palestinian state,” the senior Foreign Ministry source said.

Nation of Palestine, a new member of United Nations. - August 27, 2011 by Muslimsvoiceofamerica

“Our decision to go to the Security Council does not aim to isolate Israel, nor to confront the United States, rather to achieve our dream of recognition of our sovereign Palestinian state on the territories occupied since 1967, which is only 22 per cent of the area of historic Palestine,” Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said.

“The government of Israel and the U.S. offered us absolutely nothing that would allow us to resume negotiations,” he said. “All they offered was more settlements and Judization, day after day. So when we felt that the road of reasonable, acceptable and legitimate negotiations is close, we said we are going to the UN.”
