South Africa has proposed that the United Nations Security Council reconsider a long-delayed decision for a visit to the occupied West Bank territories that Palestinian's seek for a future independent state. The call was made during a Council session on the Middle East and the Palestinian question. The visit was first proposed in earlier 2019 but the Israeli Mission rejected in February the request of a collective visit while the Palestinian Ambassador at the time said such a visit would be viewed in a positive way. A Council visit requires the support of all 15 Council members and approval from the countries concerned. Sherwin Bryce-Pease reports. For more news, visit: sabcnews.com
