Breaking: U.S. Delegation to Durban Prep

Found out tonight that the U.S. will send a delegation to Geneva to participate in preparations for Durban II on an exploratory basis. The U.S. wants to see if the process can be salvaged — meaning that all specific references to Israel are eliminated from the draft outcome document. Susan Rice, U.S. Ambassador to the UN, has asked AJC’s Felice Gaer to co-chair the delegation.
