Israel Cries Out For Sympathy Yet Again
:salamext:
After Palestine's victory in their bid to join the UN, Israel looks to the world for sympathy.
"This is negative political theatre that takes us out of a negotiating process. It's going to hurt peace," Mr Regev told the BBC.
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called the vote "unfortunate and counter-productive", saying it put more obstacles on the path to peace.
"This is a whole new ball-game now. Israel will be dealing with a member of the international community, a state called Palestine with rights," the Palestinian Liberation Organisation's Hanan Ashrawi told the BBC.
It's about time they got a taste of their own medicine.
"We will have access to international organisations and agencies and we will take it from there."
Gaza's Prime Minister Ismael Haniyeh said in a statement sent to the BBC that Hamas support for the UN bid "is based on the 'rule of non-recognition of the occupier'... and the right of Palestinians to return to their homeland".
Israel, the US and EU regard Hamas as a terrorist organisation while Palestine, most of the Arab world and other countries around the world regard Israel as a terrorist occupier.
