UN expert: Israel 'killed' peace plan

Israel has killed the road map peace plan for the Middle East with apparent US acquiescence, a UN human rights investigator says.

"The road map is dead. Israel has killed it," South African law professor John Dugard told a UN General Assembly committee on Thursday.

"The world is looking to the United States for leadership in this region, and the world is simply not getting it," said Dugard, who monitors the Palestinian territories for the Geneva-based UN Human Rights Commission.

His remarks came as a gravely ill Palestinian leader Yasir Arafat agreed to be rushed from the West Bank to a French hospital for treatment, casting a cloud of uncertainty over the Middle East political landscape.
