Palestinian institutions ready for statehood: U.N - Yahoo! News: "The Palestinian Authority is ready to run an independent state but will struggle to make further institutional progress due to the restrictions of the Israeli occupation, the United Nations said on Tuesday.
The U.N. report followed equally upbeat assessments of the PA's nation-building achievements released over the past week by the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund.
The positive statements comes before a meeting in Brussels on Wednesday of aid donor countries which will review Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad's drive to construct the framework of a state by mid-2011.
'In six areas where the U.N. is most engaged, governmental functions are now sufficient for a functioning government of a state,' said the report, entitled 'Palestinian State-building: A Decisive Period.'"
