Danny Ayalon

Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon expressed his opinion on the support the international community is providing Palestinians who want to proclaim a state in September saying that it is fading, and that it will continue to wan until September.
Ayalon is the leader of the Israeli international lobbying team, and traveled to dozens of countries, and from what he has seen, he has reasons to think many of them will not vote for the Palestinian state at the U.N. general assembly.
Many of the countries on which Ayalon is counting are Western countries, with whom he hopes to create a critical mass of votes in the general assembly, and demonstrate that the democratic world is opposed to Palestinian statehood unilaterally affirmed.

U.N. General Assembly

It is expected though that a majority of the member states of the United Nations to vote in favor of the Palestinian proposal. The vote would be mainly symbolic, but it could isolate Israel on the political international arena.
Meanwhile, 336 apartments are being built in the settlements in the West Bank, making it even harder to bring Palestinians to the negotiation table.
The number of the Jewish people living in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, territories that were captured by Israel in 1967, is of 500,000.
Last year the direct talks between Israel and the Palestinian National Authority abruptly collapsed as the Jewish state resumed its policy to build settlements in the West Bank. The Palestinian delegation immediately withdrew from negotiations and they never came back, accusing Israel of not actually being interested in the solution of the problem.
Palestinians determined that they would obtain a country of their own by any means necessary, and also stated that it would be within the boundaries from 1967, before the annexation happened.
Israelis refused many American propositions to resume negotiations, including one which was to bring the latest military technique to their army, or the one issued by president Obama himself in May 2011, which was talking about a mutual recognition of the right to exist as states.
They claim that the only way to resolve the situation is by means of direct talks, which have been going on for more than a decade without serious outcome.
Palestinians will ask, through the Arab League, to be given full membership of the United Nations, thus being acknowledged as a state.
It is expected that the United States would oppose such measure as it did oppose all similar attempts made by the Palestinians in the past to act like an independent state within the U.N.
A series of countries in Latin America, such as Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, and Ecuador already recognized a state of Palestinians last year. Syria recognized it on Monday.
European countries are said, by the Palestinian chief negotiation Saeb Erakat, to recognize the new state, though European Union common foreign affairs office is placing itself on the side of Israel and the United States, attempting to dissuade Palestinians from doing on with their plan.
