America has wrecked UN's role: reportJERUSALEM: The highest-ranking United Nations official in Israel has warned, in a damning confidential report, that American pressure has "pummelled into submission" the organisation's role as an impartial Middle East negotiator.The report by Alvaro de Soto, the UN's Middle East envoy, presents a devastating account of failed diplomacy and condemns the sweeping boycott of the Palestinian Government. It is dated May 5, just before Mr de Soto stepped down.He condemns Israel for setting unachievable preconditions for talks and the Palestinians for their violence. Western-led peace negotiations had become largely irrelevant, he said.
