Following a holiday recess, the United Nations Security Council on Monday did not resume its discussion of the situation in the Israeli-administered territories, begun late Wednesday at the request of Arab countries.
The Arabs were expected to request further condemnation of Israel, a demand that Israel end its rule in the territories, and the appointment of a new U.N. commission to investigate Israel’s handling of the current unrest.
No draft resolution has been circulated, and resumption of the discussion awaits “consultation with member countries,” according to a U.N. spokesperson.
