A United Nations group representing 80 percent of the world’s population handed what appeared to be a victory to Palestinian causes last week.
The Group of 77, which makes up about two-thirds of U.N. membership with its 134-country roster, selected Palestinian diplomat Riyad Mansour as the 2019 chairman of the bloc — a move that could lead to more pain for both Palestine and U.N. agencies, according to one expert.
