UN's Ban: Palestinians should defer agency bids
United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon says Palestinian efforts to join other UN agencies beyond its cultural arm is "not beneficial for Palestine and not beneficial for anybody."
Ban said "millions and millions" of people could be affected if UN agencies see their funding cut as a result of the Palestinian bids. He spoke Thursday with The Associated Press on the sidelines of the Group of 20 summit in Cannes. (AP)
