Qatar circulates revised Israel resolution
Jul 12, 2006

UNITED NATIONS - Acting on behalf of Arab nations, Qatar circulated a revised draft U.N. Security Council resolution Wednesday demanding Israel end its offensive in the Gaza Strip and release the Palestinian officials it has arrested.

The draft, amended to overcome concerns from the United States and France, now includes a direct demand for the release of an abducted Israeli soldier and urges the Palestinians to stop firing rockets at Israel.

The Security Council has struggled for almost two weeks on how to respond to Israel's offensive in Gaza. An earlier draft from Qatar was rejected because several members of the council said it was too biased against Israel.
