"The UN General Assembly is to discuss in early November the Goldstone report that accuses Israel and Palestinian militants of war crimes in Gaza, an Arab diplomat said Monday.

"The Arab group is requesting that the report... be debated in the General Assembly in early November," said Arab league representative Yahya Mahmassani, who was conveying the request in a letter to Assembly president Ali Triki.

Discussions would definitely now go ahead "probably on November 4," Mahmassani told AFP.

The UN Human Rights Council endorsed Richard Goldstone's report on the 22-day conflict that erupted on December 27, 2008 earlier this month."
