McCain: U.S. Should Rethink U.N. Funding If Palestinian Resolution Approved

McCain, in an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union” show, said President Barack Obama should not even be considering such a resolution.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s comments last week just before his re-election opposing a two-state solution for Israel and the Palestinians widened a rift between him and the Obama administration.
