The United States exercised its veto power to block Palestineâs bid for full membership status in the United Nations, sparking backlash from both members of the UN Security Council (UNSC) and the Palestinian Presidency.
During a recent UNSC meeting, Al Mayadeenâs correspondent reported that the US vetoed the proposal, despite efforts by Washington to sway other nations against it in the preceding week. Despite these efforts, 12 UNSC members voted in favor of granting Palestine full membership status. āĻ¸ā§āĻāĻāĻžāĻ°āĻ˛ā§āĻ¯āĻžāĻ¨ā§āĻĄ āĻāĻŦāĻ āĻ¯ā§āĻā§āĻ¤āĻ°āĻžāĻā§āĻ¯ abstained from voting, leaving the US with the sole dissenting vote. As a permanent UNSC member, a US veto effectively nullifies any proposal, regardless of support from other members. Franceâs representative later clarified that France supported the proposal, contrary to initial reports of abstention.

Palestine has long sought full UN membership, aiming for internationally recognized sovereignty over territories occupied by Israel since 1967, including the āĻāĻžāĻāĻž. Recent leaks from The Intercept revealed US State Department efforts to rally opposition to the proposal, contrasting with public support for Palestinian statehood. This duplicity has drawn scrutiny and criticism, highlighting broader tensions surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
