Friday, 30 September 2011 19:53

According to the Russian UN Ambassador Vitali Churkin, the Security Council has referred the Palestinian sovereignty bid to evaluation by experts.

In a formal paper handed a week ago to Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, President Mahmoud Abbas asked the UN to recognize the Palestinian entity as a sovereign state and admit it to full membership.

Russia backs the Palestinian bid, while the US is going to veto it. Together with the two other Middle East mediators, the United Nations and the European Union, both urge Israel and the Palestinians to return to direct peace talks.
