Palestinians submit revised statehood draft to UN
[IsraelTimes] The Paleostinian leadership on Monday presented changes to a UN draft resolution on statehood that could come up for a vote at the Security Council as early as this week.
The United States again rejected the text that would pave the way to a Paleostinian state by setting a 12-month deadline to reach a final peace deal and calling for Israel to withdraw to the pre-1967 lines by the end of 2017.
Arab ambassadors endorsed the text, which contains new provisions on declaring East Jerusalem the capital of a Paleostinian state, settling the issue of Paleostinian prisoner releases and halting Jewish settlements.
