The US administration has signalled that it will this week veto a UN resolution on the Middle East even though it reflects the White House’s position on Israeli settlement building in occupied Palestinian territory.
Washington has urged the Palestinians to drop plans to seek a vote on a draft resolution in the 15-member Security Council on Wednesday on the grounds that such a move would disrupt its efforts to revive the peace process.
