U N Ouster Of Israel Seen Unlikely This Week
United Nations diplomats doubt Syria can compel a council meeting to oust Israel from the U N and impose penalties after the Dec 11 Galilee attack.

The Western powers expected to back a censure and negotiation appeal as the chair adjourned for Christmas week.
