New York, New York—”Until we have a resolution to see, Daniel, the United Kingdom is not answering that question and you will not evoke another answer, I know, from another authoritative source from the United Kingdom delegation,” Alistair Burt, a member of Parliament and a member of the UK delegation to the U.N., tells me in response to a question about whether his nation will support the Palestinian bid for statehood this week.

The resolution will supposedly come tomorrow, though there are now reports that the Palestinians will circumvent the U.N. Security Council because it currently lacks support necessary to gain recognition.
