JERUSALEM — The Palestinians’ chief negotiator said Friday that a U.S. diplomat had warned of a cut in aid to the Palestinians if they proceed with a unilateral bid for statehood at the U.N. in September.
The U.S. said that negotiator Saeb Erekat had mischaracterized the words of the U.S. consul-general in Jerusalem, but declined to comment further. Israel and the U.S. strongly oppose the Palestinians’ U.N. plan, saying Palestinian statehood should be achieved only through negotiations.
