The U.S. government doesn’t agree with the Palestinian flag-raising in the UN Headquarters in New York, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said at a regular briefing for journalists today.

Nevertheless, in his words, Washington is also committed to taking part in the efforts on normalizing the conflict in the Middle East.

Earlier, the UN General Assembly passed by a majority of votes a resolution, which allows rising in the territory of the UN headquarters in New York the flags of the states which have the status of observers in UN, TASS reports.
