An Arab-backed draft resolution on ending Israel's occupation of lands captured in 1967 is to be submitted later Wednesday to the U.N. Security Council for a vote. However, Riad Malki said the actual vote might be put off, suggesting a compromise is in the works to avoid a clash in the council.The current draft, sponsored by Jordan on behalf of the Palestinians, sets November 2016 as a deadline for an Israeli withdrawal from war-won lands the Palestinians seek for a state.
