Hits, scolds or cause of concern

Israel Matzav has an article titled State Department: US 'deeply concerned' about - what else? in which he discusses the US State depatment reaction to the construction approval of new homes in Har Homa. He also takes issue with Politico for stating that the State department said Israel and Palestine must continue....
"No, the State Department briefing did not refer to 'Palestine.' Hey Politico - there ain't no such thing as 'Palestine.'"

The following is an excerpt from the State Department daily press briefing of August 9th. Has anyone reported this or is it only about Israel?

QUESTION: The Palestinian-Israeli issue. Palestinian sources say they are studying or weighing in postponing the submission of their application to the United Nations beyond the General Assembly. Is this something that you’re discussing with them, not to let go of the idea, but actually to postpone it?

MS. NULAND: Our position on activities at the UN General Assembly has not changed. It didn’t change in the weeks of my summer leave. We think that this is a bad idea, which is going to make the kind of negotiation that we want to see for a lasting long-term peace more difficult.

QUESTION: Would that be an idea that you would encourage, for Mr. Abbas to climb down from that tree?

MS. NULAND: I think we’ve encouraged from the beginning that the Palestinians reconsider this ill-advised course that they have been on.
