Palestinians ask UN to deploy observer force in West Bank
The Palestinians are asking the United Nations to deploy a permanent international force in the West Bank and east Jerusalem.
Tuesday’s request comes a day after Israel said it was suspending operations of an observer force in the city of Hebron, after 20 years.
Palestinian official Saeb Erekat says the U.N. should “guarantee the safety and protection of the people of Palestine” until “the end of Israel’s belligerent occupation.”
