Clinton tells Netanyahu she’s against UN Solution for Palestine

SHAFAQNA – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in New York on Sunday evening, hours after sitting down with her Republican rival Donald Trump.

In the meeting, Clinton stressed “her opposition to any attempt by outside parties to impose a solution” to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, “including by the UN Security Council,” according to a statement released by her campaign. She further reaffirmed her commitment to a two-state solution negotiated directly by the parties.

The meeting at the W Hotel began at 6:30 P.M. and lasted about an hour.

According to the statement, Clinton said a “strong and secure Israel” is vital to the United States. She also “reaffirmed her unwavering commitment” to the U.S.-Israel relationship and stressed her support for the new military aid agreement reached earlier in September and her commitment to countering efforts to boycott Israel.

Netanyahu, in turn, laid out Israel’s positions on Mideast security issues “as well as Israel’s efforts to achieve peace and stability in our region,” according to a statement released by the prime minister’s bureau.

The prime minister also thanked Clinton for her “friendship and support for Israel.”

The prime minister’s bureau released an identical statement following his meeting with Trump.

Israeli Ambassador to Washington Ron Dermer and Clinton adviser Jake Sullivan were present at the meeting.

During the meeting with Trump, the Republican presidential candidate told the Israeli prime minister that if elected, he “would finally accept the long-standing Congressional mandate to recognize Jerusalem as the undivided capital of the State of Israel,” according to a statement released by Trump’s campaign.
