UN General Assembly to vote on Arab-Israeli withdrawal Monday
United Nations diplomats report a Monday General Assembly vote on rival resolutions calling for Israeli troop withdrawal from Arab lands. The Latin American draft seeks belligerency end and peaceful dispute resolution, while a nonaligned plan pushes for withdrawal with broader open ended intervention.
