新东方英语讯：巴勒斯坦阿巴斯6日发布主席令，要求政府部门在两个月之内把现行法律法规中的名称更改为“巴勒斯坦国”，并重新制作邮票、护照、居民身份证、人口出生证等证件。巴勒斯坦外交部同日表示，已向巴方所有驻外使领馆发出指示，要求在外交公文中开始使用“巴勒斯坦国”的名称。
The United States has reacted to President Mahmoud Abbas' decree to have the Palestinian National Authority be renamed to the "State of Palestine", calling it a "bad idea". The US State Department insisted on Monday that statehood could only be achieved through a negotiated settlement with Israel.
US State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said, "Our policy on continuing to call it the Palestinian Authority, until such time that there is a negotiated agreement for a state with borders, will not change. We’re certainly going to tell them that it’s a bad idea and it doesn’t change anything for the Palestinian people. And if they really want to change things for the Palestinian people, they need to get back to the table."
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas issued a decree on Sunday, ordering the use of the name of State of Palestine on all official stamps. This includes identity cards, driving licenses, official documents, passports and official letterheads.
It was the first official step taken toward statehood, since the UN General Assembly granted the Palestinians an upgraded status of a non-member observer state in November last year. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed his opposition to the move on Sunday, saying a Palestinian state can only be born through a peace treaty with Israel.

巴勒斯坦瓦法通讯社指出，这一做法是为了实施联合国大会将巴勒斯坦地位升为“观察员国”的决定，是“建立以耶路撒冷为首都的巴勒斯坦国的重要一步”。
根据奥斯陆协议规定，目前巴勒斯坦居民只有获得以色列的许可后才能获得身份证和护照等证件。以色列总理内塔尼亚胡6日对巴方举动表示反对，声称巴勒斯坦国只能通过与以色列签署和约予以实现。
