Palestinians have denounced the UN decision to remove a report that accuses Israel of imposing an apartheid regime against the people in the occupied territories. The Palestine Liberation Organization says the UN move shows that it is biased towards Israel. Meanwhile, Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas has decided to award the highest Palestinian medal to Rima Khalaf who was forced to resign after she issued the UN report. Press TV’s Mona Kandil has the details from Ramallah.
