Obama says Palestinian U.N. bid is "distraction"

US President Barack Obama said that a Palestinian move for recognition next week at the United Nations was a ?distraction? and would not result in viable statehood.

According to AFP, Obama said on Monday that Israel would ?hurt itself? if it retaliated to any such action by withdrawing resources that in any way harmed Palestinian self-policing efforts.

Washington has already threatened to veto any bid for full recognition by the Palestinians in the U.N. Security Council.
