Jerusalem, Nov 05: Israel plans to file a resolution to the UN General Assembly on child victims of Palestinian attacks, in an unprecedented move which could herald new tactics toward the world body it accuses of bias, an official said today. "We put a new resolution on the table a few days ago dealing with the effects of Palestinian terror on Israeli children," said Daniel Meron, Director-General of the Israeli Foreign Ministry's department in charge of the UN and international organisations.
"Enough is enough. Talking about every event in the middle east as if things were one-sided is wrong," he told reporters, explaining the UN had adopted resolutions dealing separately with the suffering of Palestinians for two years running.
The resolution is currently being examined by UN committees and was expected to be officially submitted within three weeks, he added.
Israel has been the target of countless resolutions by the UN General Assembly condemning its actions in the Palestinian territories, but has so far chosen to ignore them and dismissed the world body as biased.
