Angered by Israeli attacks on the Palestinian Authority the U.N. General
Assembly on Thursday in emergency special session moved to condemn
Israeli violence in the occupied Palestinian territories
The session was called for by Egypt, on behalf of the Arab League and
South Africa, which leads the Non-Aligned Movement of largely developing
countries.
The emergency special session was the fourth in recent years to be
called to consider ``illegal Israeli actions in Occupied East Jerusalem
and the rest of the Occupied Palestinian Territory.''
Earlier sessions, which took place in 1997, 1998 and 2000, date back to
the establishment of new Israeli settlements in Palestinian territory in
1997.
