The Palestinian Authority will submit a formal membership application to the Security Council Friday, but it will not press for an immediate vote on the bid. CNN talked with the Israeli Minister of Foreign Affairs who says this isn’t the way to negotiate.

ANCHOR: "So Mahmoud Abbas is still going to apply for statehood but he’s not going to push for a vote from the Security Council because frankly he doesn’t have the right number of votes to push it through. How do you feel about that?"
AYALON: "Disappointed... You iron out all the differences on the ground between the parties and then you take it to the UN for endorsement.”

But Bloomberg reports, this is really just a bid by Palestine for more time.

“Allowing the UN’s administrative process to delay the consideration in the 15- member body will permit the Palestinians to save face and buy diplomats time to look for an alternative that restarts peace talks.”

The U.S. has promised to veto the bid-- and President Obama’s stressed Wednesday that peace cannot come though UN sanctions, but must come through negotiations between Israel and Palestine.

Infolive reports Obama’s speech was not well received in Palestine.

“In Ramallah thousands flocked to the Yasser Arafat Square in the center of the city where a higher banner with the words 'UN 19' hung. The words referred to the Palestinian aspiration to become the 194th member state at the United Nations."

But PBS Newshour has the word from the Deputy Prime Minister of Palestine about why he disagrees with the U.S. president. He says the UN is the best option because Palestine doesn’t want to wait on the U.S. to mediate the peace talks:

“We know that he's entering an election cycle, where he won't be able to spend a lot of political capital or a lot of time and attention on us. So we, the Palestinians, are going to go to the world community to ask for their backing in a peace process, rather than wait for the Americans to come around after November of 2012.”
