Arab nations: Quartet report biased in favor of Israel

Arab nations are calling on the UN Security Council not to endorse the recently released Quartet report aimed at reviving the Middle East peace process, because the Palestinians view it as biased in favor of Israel, the Palestinian envoy said Tuesday, according to AFP.

The report by the Middle East quartet – comprised of the European Union, Russia, the United Nations and the United States – calls on Israel to halt its construction in Judea and Samaria, but also calls on the Palestinians to stop inciting to violence and terrorism.
