Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Wednesday that the United States does not support the Palestinians’ plans to unilaterally declare a state in 2011. CNN reported:

‘We do not support unilateral steps by either party that would prejudge the outcome of such negotiations,’ Clinton said.

‘Each party has a very strong set of opinions about the way forward,’ Clinton said. ‘There will be no progress until they actually come together and explore areas where there is agreement, and ways to narrow areas of disagreement.’

‘We have always said, and I continue to say, that negotiations between the parties are the only means by which all of the outstanding claims arising out of the conflict can be resolved.’
