TEL AVIV, Israel, April 21 (UPI) -- The United Nations will declare a Palestinian state in September if no breakthrough occurs between Israel and the Palestinians, a former U.S. diplomat said.
"If there isn't anything else, then in September there will be a vote in the United Nations that will recognize a Palestinian state, just like the U.N. recognized Israel in 1948," Martin Indyk, the former U.S. Ambassador to Israel told Army Radio on Thursday.
