Palestinian leader wants US backing in UN proposal

The Palestinian president says his new attempt to get the United Nations to condemn Israeli settlements was specifically designed to win US support.

 

The Palestinians have drafted a proposal and are lobbying for a Security Council resolution that would declare West Bank settlements illegal and an "obstacle to peace." The US has said it does not support the move. Israel says it's attempt by the Palestinians to avoid negotiations. (AP)
