PA Withdraws Request for UN Vote on Trump Mid-east Plan: diplomats

The Palestinian Authority has abandoned its request for a vote at the UN Security Council Tuesday on rejecting the U.S. Mideast plan, over a lack of international support, diplomats said.

Introduced by Indonesia and Tunisia, the resolution 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.

PA President Mahmoud Abbas is set to take part Tuesday in a session on President Donald Trump’s January 28 plan, which paves the way for Israeli annexation of much of Judea and Samaria but also allows for a demilitarized Palestinian state.

The sudden PA withdrawal of their request came after the United States — which enjoys veto power as a permanent member — proposed a series of amendments that could come for a vote at the session attended by Abbas.

In proposals seen by AFP, the United States would significantly alter the text to remove references to 1967 lines being the basis of peace.

It would also cut out a line stating that Jewish communities built in Judea and Samaria since 1967 are illegal.

The United States is also seeking to eliminate language that equated eastern Jerusalem with Judea and Samaria. The Trump plan calls for recognition of the contested holy city as Israel’s undivided capital, while establishing a “Palestinian” capital on its outskirts.

While recognizing that the Trump plan “departs from the internationally endorsed terms of reference and parameters,” the U.S. wants the resolution to state that the Security Council “welcomes discussion on this proposal to advance the cause of peace.”

“Discussions are continuing on the text,” a diplomat said on condition of anonymity.

Other diplomats cast doubt on whether a vote could take place at a later date, considering the wide divergences in positions.

Diplomats, however, said they had no reason to think Abbas’ appearance would be scrapped.

New Year Begins With Major Federal Actions To Protect Religious Liberty For America’s Service Members

“For too long, woke activists have been able to reduce religious freedom within the military with very little resistance, including limiting the freedom of our military chaplains. The ministry of military chaplains continues a tradition of service provided to our service men and women since 1775, making sure that those who fight to defend our nation have the spiritual guidance they need.”

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese Has Been Failing Australia’s Jewish Community For 25 Years

The Australian Jewish News reported that Mr Albanese had also been at a Canberra rally in 2000, referring to him as a “pro-Palestinian Labor MP.” Sadly, as it is now, so it was then. Synagogues were vandalised in both Sydney and Canberra (the locations of the two rallies), and Jewish families were advised to avoid public displays of faith.   Where did Australia go wrong? In part, 25 years ago. Anthony Albanese failed Australia’s Jewish community in 2000, and he failed them again in 2025. By God’s mercy, may this be the last of his failures.
