The United Nations will not be taking part in next month’s conference in Bahrain to present the economic aspects of a US peace plan for Israel and the Palestinians, a spokesman said Thursday, according to AFP.
"At this stage, I'm not aware that we will have anyone present," said UN spokesman Farhan Haq when asked about UN attendance at the conference. The UN's Middle East coordinator, Nickolay Mladenov, was invited to the June 25-26 conference in Manama, but he will not attending.
