CAIRO, (PIC)-- Amr Mousa, the Arab League secretary General, has described the Ramallah authority's request to delay the voting at the UN human rights council on the report of Richard Goldstone regarding Israeli war crimes during the Gaza war as "unprecedented compromise" of Palestinian rights.

Mousa told Ashark Al-Awsat newspaper published in London on Sunday that the Arab League was not consulted in this matter, describing the request as "very serious".


He revealed that an American-Israeli-Palestinian agreement as made on resuming PA-Israeli contacts under American patronage.

The Arab official said that an American paper would be tabled within three weeks on this issue, adding that his League was not informed with the contacts leading to that agreement.

Mousa warned that Arab resolutions should be respected or else the entire Arab positions would collapse
