ג'ון קרי במסר בעת ביקורו בביירות "איננו מכירים בממשלת האחדות הפלסטינית שעוללה לרמוז על צמיכה במדינה פלסטינית"
BEIRUT: Speaking in Beirut Wednesday, Secretary of State John Kerry said that the U.S. does not recognize the new unity government of Palestine, as that would imply it recognized the Palestinian state.
"We do not recognize the government of Palestine - that would mean we recognize a state," he said.
But Kerry also said the U.S. would continue to work with the new Palestinian unity government "as we need to" and will monitor daily its policies to ensure it "doesn't cross the line.”
