US absent from UN Forum on Human Rights in Palestine

A UN forum on human rights in Palestine is meeting in Geneva, Switzerland. However, the Barack Obama administration has decided not to attend. Observers have two different readings on why the US is absent: that the administration is not interested in the issue or that the decision reflects the deteriorating relationship between the White House and Benjamin Netanyahu's government, with Washington no longer feeling obligated to defend Tel Aviv's policies. Jorge Gestoso presents an analysis direct from Washington. teleSUR
