UNSC set to vote on Palestinian resolution

Security Council to vote on ending Israel's occupation and a peace deal at 22:00 GMT on Tuesday.

 

United Nations Security Council is expected to vote as early as Tuesday afternoon on a Palestinian draft resolution that calls for a peace deal with Israel within a year and an end of the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories by late 2017.
Jordan's UN Ambassador Dina Kawar said Arab delegations had agreed the draft should go to a vote as soon as possible. It was later announced that the vote would take place at 22:00 GMT.
