UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) -
The United Nations is likely to hold a debate on whether to upgrade the
Palestinians' U.N. status to a sovereign country in mid-November - after the
U.S. election, the president of the 193-member U.N. General Assembly said on
Wednesday.
Having failed last year to
win recognition of full statehood at the United Nations, Palestinian President
Mahmoud Abbas said last week he would seek a less-ambitious status upgrade at
the world body to make it a "non-member state" like the Vatican.
