PALESTINIANS-UN-VOTE-WITHDRAW
Palestinians withdraw request for Security Council vote on US Mideast plan: diplomats
UNITED NATIONS, United States, Feb 10, 2020 (BSS/AFP) – The Palestinians have abandoned their request for a vote at the UN Security Council Tuesday on rejecting the US Mideast peace plan, over a lack of international support, diplomats said Monday.
Introduced by Indonesia and Tunisia, the resolution risked not having nine out of 15 votes in its favor, the minimum required for adoption provided there is no veto by a permanent member, the diplomats told AFP.
