"The U.S. has promised to vote against any resolution that would seek to grant the Palestinians full membership in the United Nations after a General Assembly resolution passed with significant support from member states...
The vote, brought to the floor by the United Arab Emirates, received support from 143 members, with nine voting against and 25 abstaining.
The 'no' votes included Argentina, Hungary, Israel and the United States, among others, while the abstentions included Albania, Austria, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Finland, Germany, Italy, Lithuania, Monaco, the Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine and the United Kingdom, among others...
Anne Bayefsky, director of the Touro University Institute on Human Rights and the Holocaust and president of Human Rights Voices, told Fox News Digital that ‘Roughly 75% of U.N. member states evidently believe that there is one exception to the U.N. Charter's membership core requirement of being a ‘peace-loving state,’ namely, the would-be Palestinian terror state.
She warned that ‘With today's resolution, the U.N. General Assembly could soon have a President from the so-called ‘State of Palestine’ - without any negotiation or agreement to live in peace and security with a Jewish state. Hamas and its Palestinian Authority UN mouthpiece at the helm of the United Nations' lead body. A day in infamy.’..."
