The Security Council is expected today (Jan. 29) to hold an emergency special session of the General Assembly about Israel's annexation of the Golan Heights.

The United States, which vetoed a punitive resolution in the Council last week, abstained on Thursday's decision to call the session, as did Britain.

There is no power of veto in the 157-member Assembly.
