Muslim countries use procedural moves to block progress at conference.

But Red Cross officials hosting the conference confirmed that...

GENEVA - Member countries of the international Red Cross movement met on Monday to investigate whether they can revive an effort to give Israel full status five years after the last attempt failed because of Arab-Israeli tension.
