This Thursday, the United States vetoed a resolution in the Security Council that would have paved the way for Palestine to become a full member of the United Nations, where it is currently only an observer state.
For weeks, the Palestinians, who have had the lower status of a “non-member observer state” since 2012, as well as Arab countries, have begged the Council to recognize that a “Palestinian state”, already recognized by most capitals, will take its “rightful place” in United Nations.
“Granting Palestine full membership in the United Nations will alleviate some of the historical injustices that have plagued generations of Palestinians,” Ziad Abu Amr, a senior Palestinian Authority official, stressed to the Security Council this Thursday.
