The Jerusalem Post · ASHER SMITH ·
Israel's Ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, said the Palestinian delegation was seeking to use the current political situation to challenge Israel at the international body.
The Palestinian delegation to the United Nations has been working with European delegations to draft resolutions seeking to secure assistance for Palestinians, including UN commitments to protect property and sources of income in the West Bank, and condemnations of Israeli settlements in the West Bank, Ynet reported Friday.
The drafts were also expected to include an official condemnation of Israel's plans to advance construction in the E1 area, as well as a demand for the UN to formally declare that it did not recognize Israel's presence in the West Bank.
Additionally, the proposed measures called for a policy of differentiation between the West Bank and the rest of Israel, Ynet reported, noting that the drafts were still being negotiated between the Palestinian delegation and European Union member states.
