The Palestinian resolution calling for an Israeli withdrawal to the pre-1967 lines will be presented to the United Nations Security Council on Monday, according to Chief PLO Negotiator Saeb Erekat.

Palestinian efforts to win support for the resolution would continue “until the last minute,” Erekat said, repeating earlier threats that the Palestinians would join international organizations and treaties if the US chooses to veto the resolution, which calls for setting a timeline for Israel’s withdrawal to the pre-1967 lines.
