In any case, the decision is the responsibility of the Security Council. The Israeli Foreign Minister has described the vote as an “absurd decision”, which he has considered “a reward for the Hamas terrorists”.
An overwhelming majority of 143 states, of the 193 members of the UN, have again asked today in the general Assembly reconsider the integration of Palestine as a full state, a decision that falls to the Security Council.
Only nine countries have voted against, and 25 have abstained, in this resolution that was co-sponsored by Spain, Ireland, Norway and Belgiumnext to more than 70 countries.
The resolution approved by the Assembly also grants Palestine new powers that go beyond its current status as a “non-member observer state” and that define its participation in the General Assembly, but specifies that She will not have the right to vote nor will she be able to present herself as a candidate for United Nations organizations..
The Israeli Foreign Minister, Israel Katzhas described the vote as an “absurd decision”, which he considered “a reward for the Hamas terrorists”.
“The decision to improve the status of Palestinians at the UN is a reward for the Hamas terrorists after committing the largest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust and perpetrating the most atrocious sexual crimes the world has ever seen,” the minister said.
Katz has considered that the measure “demonstrates the structural bias of the UN” and that, under the leadership of Secretary General Antonio Guterres, “it has become an irrelevant institution.”
