UN report: Palestinian Authority is paving the way to statehood

"Marked progress in six areas of Palestinian governance has paved the way for a functioning state, but there are still obstacles to be overcome, said a United Nations report released Tuesday... The report, titled "Palestinian State-building: A Decisive Period" is based on a review of the Palestinian Authority's implementation of a program initiated in August 2009. The program was geared toward creating various institutions that would prepare the Palestinians for statehood within two years"
