UNITED NATIONS, June 8 – On Gaza, aweek after Kuwait's draft UN Security Council resolution was vetoed by the US, Palestine's Ambassador Mansour told the press that the President of the General Assembly will soon be announcing a General Assembly meeting on the topic and on this draft, here. Inner City Press had asked about the meeting with the PGA, which included
Sabri Boukadoum of Algeria; Fode Seck of Senegal, Feridun Hadi Sinirlioglu of Turkeyand the Ambassadors of the Arab League and Bangladesh. Afterward Inner City Press asked Mansour about Palestine having joined UNIDO and UNCTAD, if the US had cut funding to the latter. Mansour replies that Palestine is joining seven more agencies but is holding off joining FAO and WHO, so that poor countries are not hurt (by US funding cuts.) Periscope video here.
