Following the US-Israel proposal to grant Israel, Jerusalem and territories in the West Bank, Palestinian authorities have responded by rejecting the deal and stating that they will present their case to the UN.

Palestine’s President Mahmoud Abbas was reported to have responded to the proposed deal with “a thousand no’s”.

Riyad Mansour, a Palestinian envoy to the UN, will place a draft resolution to the 15-member Security Council where it is likely to be vetoed by the United States. The resolution will subsequently be taken to the UN General Assembly which consists of 193 members representing states throughout the international community.

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.

Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
