Although today should have been an historic day for the whole world , although 180 countries and States supported Palestine's bid for UN Statehood, due to be voted on today after being put off twice, the Quartet -- the US, UN, EU, and Russia -- is said to be deliberating on a new framework for a renewal of bilateral negotiations between the PLO and Israel following a veto by Barack Obama on Wednesday.

The Quartet may seek to restart negotiations in the time between Mahmoud Abbas' speech tomorrow and a decision from the Security Council, which could be weeks or even months away.
