Palestinian Authority Cancels Summit After Israel Bars Diplomats 
-----------------------------------------------------------------


 
The Palestinian Authority was forced to cancel an international meeting
on Sunday after the Israeli government barred a number of diplomats from
entering the West Bank. PA officials were due to meet with envoys from
the global Non-Aligned Movement to discuss plans to revive the
Palestinian statehood bid at the United Nations next month. But the
Israeli government said it would only allow delegates from countries
with which it has diplomatic relations, barring four attendees and
leading the others to cancel their trip in solidarity.
