U S veto blocks fact finding mission on Palestinian abuses
United States vetoed a United Nations Security Council call for a fact finding mission on abuses in Israeli-occupied lands drawing Arab criticism. Palestinian leaders in the territories cut contacts with U S officials and Arab nations say the vote shows U S and Israel isolation on Middle East issues. ISRAEL opposes any inquiry and will bar UN officials. More than 700 Palestinians shot dead in 30 months of uprising, with over 210 killed by fellow Arabs.
