Palestinian leaders plan to give the United Nations a final draft of a statehood resolution on Monday.

The proposal would establish a state called Palestine — its capital in East Jerusalem — alongside Israel. The Israeli government supports negotiations but opposes U.N. action, saying that imposing a third-party timeline would deepen the conflict.
