The African Union said on Sunday it will not formally admit Israel as an observer state.
Assembly of heads of state and government, who were to vote on the decision by AU chairperson Moussa Faki Mahamat, postponed the decision and will now decide at next year's Summit, according to a special committee that gathered views from members and presented a report.
