U.S. Vetoes Palestinian Bid For Recognition As Full U.N. Member State by Holiness2100: 11:52pm On Apr 18

THE MOVE BLOCKED a RESOLUTION TO SUPPORT a STATUS THAT PALESTINIANS HAD LONG SOUGHT AT THE UNITED NATIONS, WHERE IT IS CONSIDERED a “nonmember observer state.”

The United States blocked the U.N. Security Council on Thursday from moving forward on a Palestinian bid to be recognized as a full member state at the United Nations, quashing an effort by Palestinian allies to get the world body to back the effort.

The Palestinian envoy to the United Nations, Riyad Mansour, had described the bid for full-member status as an effort “to take our rightful place among the community of nations.”

But Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations, Gilad Erdan, on Thursday denounced the resolution that went before the Security Council as a “prize for terror.” He added: “The U.N. is no longer about multilateralism, sadly. It is now committed to multiterrorism.”

The vote was 12 in favor of the resolution and one — the United States — opposed, with two abstentions.

The Security Council has consistently called for a two-state solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, a result that has failed to materialize during negotiations between the two sides. In Washington, a spokesman for the State Department, Vedant Patel, said the statehood resolution was dead on arrival.

The United States, along with the four other permanent members of the Council, can veto any action before it. On Thursday afternoon, during a high-profile Council meeting to address issues in the Middle East, including the Palestinian bid for statehood, the United States, a staunch ally of Israel’s, wielded that veto.

The resolution had asked the 15-member Security Council to recommend to the 193-member U.N. General Assembly that “the State of Palestine be admitted to membership of the United Nations,” diplomats say. To pass, the application needed to be approved by the Security Council with at least nine votes in favor and no vetoes by the United States, Britain, France, Russia or China. Then, at least two-thirds of the General Assembly would have had to approved it.

Good one from the U.S.
You DON'T reward terrorism with statehood.

Most Important! You dont divide GOD'S LAND, ISRAEL under any guise.
Even Benjamini Netanyahu has no right to Divide GOD'S Land.

The day the World tries it, The world will Shake to its Foundation. it will Feel the Undiluted and Unadulterated wrath of the ANCIENT OF THE DAYS, THE GOD OF ISRAEL.

WHEN THEY SAY PEACE AND SAFETY, SUDDEN DESTRUCTION COMES AND THEY SHALL NOT ESCAPE.

The US is one FAAAT hypocrite.

Imagine MILDLY condemning Israel's attacks on civilian settlements. Even strongly suggesting that Israel refrain from invading Rafah.

Also the US have in the past suggested a ceasefire to the conflict. There were even talks about a Two-state Solution.

In spite of all these, The US unilaterally shut down the official attempt by Palestine to be fully recognised. This would have put a stop to the ongoing conflict.

US pretends to be angry in the media when reports show that Israel have killed civilians and aid workers but turn around to supply same Israel with weapons and scuttle attempts that could potentially defuse the conflict.

What a hypocrite!

Also 12 people voted in support of the bid and the US singlehandedly vetoed and KILLED it. Just goes to show the UN is nothing but a US puppet.
