None
Activists have erected a large Palestinian flag near EU headquarters in Brussels to push the union to vote unanimously to recognize Palestinian statehood at the UN if a vote is held later this year.
Avaaz, the organization behind the display, released a survey by the British polling company YouGov showing that immediate recognition of Palestinian statehood is supported by 76 percent of Germans, 59 percent of Britons, and 69 percent of the French. "The European people have given their leaders a clear mandate," Alice Jay, of Avaaz, said Monday. The US-based group campaigns on a variety of issues. (AP)
