Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry will hold a press conference with  American and Israeli-Jewish leaders in New York on Tuesday in which he is  expected to address the upcoming deliberations at the United Nations, MK Danny  Danon (Likud), said on Saturday night.
Danon, who will participate at the  press conference, said he would ask Perry ahead of the conference to adopt the  initiative the MK is advancing to annex Judea and Samaria in response to the  unilateral Palestinian moves at the UN.
On Friday, Perry accused US  President Barack Obama of distancing himself from Israel and blamed US foreign  policy “errors” for the Palestinian push for statehood at the United  Nations.
Seeking to capitalize on this week’s Republican election victory  in a heavily Jewish New York congressional district, Perry said Palestinian  leaders believe US-Israeli relations have weakened and said “the ultimate  Palestinian solution” remains the destruction of the Jewish  state.
“Errors by the Obama administration have encouraged the  Palestinians,” the Texas governor wrote in a Wall Street Journal  column.
“It was a mistake to agree to the Palestinians’ demand for  indirect negotiations conducted through the US, and it was an even greater  mistake for President Obama to distance himself from Israel and seek engagement  with the hostile regimes in Syria and Iran,” he wrote.
Washington has  vowed to veto the Palestinian UN bid for statehood and is threatening to cut the  roughly $500 million in annual US aid to the Palestinians.
Perry endorsed  the veto plan but called on the administration to make US aid to the  Palestinians conditional on their willingness to negotiate with  Israel.
Jewish concerns about Obama’s policies toward Israel helped  Republicans win a Democratic congressional district in New York this week for  the first time in more than 80 years.
In a potential harbinger of the  national Jewish vote in 2012, analysts said many voters in the district believe  Obama has failed to support Israel and object to his call for Israeli- Palestinian negotiations to use the Jewish state’s pre-1967 borders as a  starting point.
