BERLIN (Reuters) - Germany will not back a Palestinian bid for a diplomatic upgrade at the United Nations, the government spokesman said on Wednesday.
The United Nations is due to hold a vote on Thursday on an upgrade of Palestinian status at the 193-member body to an observer state from an observer entity.
"We are assessing the situation and want as much agreement as possible with our European partners... But it is certain that Germany will not vote for such a resolution," spokesman Steffen Seibert told a news conference.

No, they won't vote for it in public, but they certainly are bankrolling it in private.

No, they won't vote for it in public, but they certainly are bankrolling it in private.

What reason would they have to not want it publicly known that they support it?

First of all it seems they are not going to vote AGAINST this bid, they may abstain.

They don't have to. They voted for Fakestinian "statehood" in the 1940s with their buddy, the Grand Mufti.
