PA to request UNSC resolution condemning W.Bank building

The Palestinian Authority on Thursday informed the US and EU of its intention to request a UN Security Council resolution that condemns construction in West Bank settlements and east Jerusalem.
The announcement was made during separate meetings held by Chief PLO negotiator Saeb Erekat with US Consul-General Daniel Rubenstein and EU representative to the Palestinian territories Christian Berger.
Erekat said that the PA was hoping that the resolution would condemn the construction as illegal and in violation of international law.
