In something that somewhat flew under the radar yesterday when it happened, the Palestinian authority took its case to the UN general assembly. In a stronger pleas for a formal upgrade to non-member status.

As the general assembly has yet to take a formal vote on that resolution. And neither the US or Israel took to the floor to make their views known. But there is a growing danger that nations like Egypt and other entities will formally renounce the camp David accords because of an Israeli breech of contract.
As all this nonsence about various green lines and Palestinian zones of control that Israel relies on to sustain its now 45 year old military occupation of disputed territories, were merely temporary pre-agreed measures that the various negotiating parties, including Arifat, agreed to prior to as the opening ante to negotiations. And were set to expire after all parties inked a deal. But since Arifat refused to sign over the Palstinian right to return, no deal was inked by all parties, hence Israel still using those temporary agreements puts Israel in breech of contract. Leaving the new Government of Egypy free to renegotiate the terms of the treaty as Israel, in just a few short years has lost all diplomatic good will withits mid-east neighbors gained over a period of 64 years. And the USA is also a big loser as well, as the pressure to create a Palestinian state is likely to continue to build.
As I also maintain the Iranian nuclear issue is more a side show, designed to deflect attention away from Palestinian Statehood issues.
