Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Palestinian Authority’s foreign minister says that a French-sponsored UN Security Council bid to restart peace talks in the region was sunk by Israeli and American opposition, Israel Radio reports.
Riyad al-Maliki says that the US has refused to deal with the issue until after Congress votes on the Iran nuclear deal. He also adds that the Palestinians are working to harness French support to condemn Israel at the Security Council as a basis to jumpstart the talks.
