UN Approves Eight-Nation Plan for Palestine Peacemaking
The UN special Political Committee approved an eight-nation plan urging direct talks between Israel and Arab states for a final peace in Palestine. The 32 to 13 vote included 13 abstentions. Israel supported the plan but Arab states called it unacceptable. Sponsors were Canada, Cuba, Denmark, Ecuador, Netherlands, Norway, Panama, Uruguay, backed by the U.S. and Britain. An opposing Arab proposal seeks a five-member mediation commission with Jerusalem as headquarters, while the current commission is the U.S., Turkey, and France. The Arabs accuse Israel of ignoring past UN resolutions on Jerusalem, refugees, and final borders.
