BREAKING NEWS

REPORT – Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has signed the Rome Treaty and 19 other international agreements which now paves the way for the Palestinians to pursue war crimes against Israel, whose 50-day Gaza campaign cost more than 2,100 lives, at the International Criminal Court in the Hague. Abbas made good on his threat to join the ICC after the defeat of the Palestinian resolution calling on the complete withdrawal of Israel from the occupied territories by 2017 at the UN Security Council last night. The ratification of the Rome Treaty is the first step to joining the ICC. It also means the Palestinians have opened a new chapter in their relationship with Israel and its Superpower patron, the USA.

TEMPLATE REPORT

NEW YORK  – The Arab resolution calling on the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the occupied territories failed to get the nine votes needed from the 15-strong members of the UN Security Council. The eight that voted in favour included China, Russia, Luxembourg, Chad, Chile and France.
Whilst those that abstained – Lithuania, Rwanda, South Korea, UK, and Nigeria.
Two voted against – USA and Australia.
Nigeria had expected to vote in favour but abstained. Under the resolution, Israel would have needed to withdraw by 2017. Had it been passed, the USA would have been expected to block the resolution by using its veto.
