General Assembly Vote on Fence Expected Monday
(AP/Washington Post) The UN General Assembly will meet Friday to discuss a Palestinian-backed resolution demanding that Israel accept the world court ruling. Nasser Al-Kidwa, the Palestinian UN observer, said the vote would probably come "not Friday but Monday." The Palestinians are focusing on the EU, Al-Kidwa said, but diplomats said there is still no agreed EU position. Some European nations insist that the reason Israel is building the security barrier - to prevent suicide attacks against Israelis - must be included in the resolution. The U.S. has said it strongly opposes the Palestinian draft.
