Palestinian Radio Ad Includes “Obama’s promise” of Palestinian Statehood

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas will submit an application for Palestinian statehood to the United Nations Sept. 20 — and the United Stated will veto the bid. Abbas has said he is prepared to accept that veto and “will continue to cooperate with the Americans.” But, in the meantime, he is doing his best to suggest President Obama, at least, supports the idea of a Palestinian state. Politico reports:

Part of a speech Obama gave in 2010 to the United Nations General Assembly is featured in an ad aimed to rally support for the Palestinians upcoming bid for statehood at the United Nations on Sept. 20, Reuters reported on Wednesday.

“When we come back here next year, we can have an agreement that can lead to a new member of the United Nations, an independent, sovereign state of Palestine living in peace with Israel,” Obama said in the 2010 speech in the clip that is played in the radio ad.
