Report: UK, France, Colombia to abstain from UN vote

None

Britain, France and Colombia, all members of the UN's Security Council, intend to abstain from a vote on the Palestinian bid for UN membership, diplomatic sources said.

 

One diplomat noted that it would be impossible for the Palestinians to secure the nine votes they require. A vote has yet to be scheduled, they said, but will be held before the year's end. (AFP)
