PA Seeks UN Condemnation of Israel's Security Fence
(Ha'aretz) Palestinian Foreign Minister Nasser al-Kidwa is trying to get the UN to renew its condemnation of Israel's separation fence, and is considering requesting either an emergency General Assembly session or a Security Council meeting to discuss the matter, UN sources said. European countries led by France and Russia oppose the idea, arguing that the eve of Israel's withdrawal from Gaza is the worst possible time for such an initiative. America also opposes it, for the same reason, the sources said, as do some Arab countries.
