Diplomats say Abbas, lacking votes, pulls request for UN vote against Trump plan

Introduced by Indonesia and Tunisia, the resolution was withdrawn because it risked not having nine out of 15 votes in its favor, the minimum required for adoption provided there is no veto by a permanent member, the diplomats told AFP. [ Source: Times of Israel (Read More…) ]
