RAMALLAH, West Bank, Nov. 24 (UPI) -- Palestinian Authority Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki has announced a draft resolution calling for a United Nations Security Council vote on Palestinian statehood will be tabled.
In an interview with Ma'an News Agency, Maliki explained the Palestinian Liberation Organization had decided to postpone the draft resolution both because it was still gathering the necessary support from nine Council members and because of the ongoing Iranian nuclear negotiations.
