Envoy: Palestinians to announce moves Monday (AP)

UNITED NATIONS ? The Palestinian U.N. envoy says his delegation will announce on Monday how it will proceed to seek membership or some other form of recognition as an independent state from the world body this month.

Riyad Mansour told reporters on Friday that the Palestinian leadership will make its decision during a meeting in Cairo on Monday with supporters from other Arab nations.

While the Palestinians say they plan to seek U.N. recognition in the coming weeks, it's unknown which of several possible paths they may take.

The Palestinians could either start with the Security Council, where the United States has vowed to veto the move, or with the General Assembly, where a two-thirds majority will be needed. Approval by both U.N. bodies will be needed for membership or recognition.
