UNITED NATIONS -- The U.S. said it would block an Arab attempt to get the Security Council to pass its fourth resolution on the Middle East crisis in four weeks, arguing in a protracted debate here Monday that further U.N. action could undermine Secretary of State Colin L. Powell's cease-fire mission.
Nasser Kidwa, the Palestinian representative to the U.N., said he hoped the council would adopt a new resolution demanding Israel's immediate withdrawal from West Bank cities and decrying the "humanitarian crisis" there. The proposed resolution, presented to the council Monday night, would also endorse an undefined "international presence that could help provide better conditions on the ground."
