The United States has announced that it will oppose the entry of Palestine as a full member of the United Nations. during the vote in the UN Security Council scheduled for this Thursday and has defended that the best way to establish a Palestinian state is through direct negotiations with Israel.

The deputy spokesman for the United States Department of State, Vedant Patel, reported in a press conference that these “premature actions, even with the best of intentions, will fail to establish a state for the Palestinian people.”

“The fastest path to the creation of a State for the Palestinian people is through direct negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority with the support of the United States and other partners who share this objective,” he indicated.

Patel has stressed that they have repeatedly asked the Palestinian Authority to “take the necessary measures” to prepare for the creation of a State in view of Gaza, where the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas)may be “an integral part of the State provided for” in said resolution.

Likewise, he assured that “there has not been unanimity” among the members of the Admission Commission to submit the proposal to the Security Council. “There are unresolved questions about whether it can meet the criteria to be considered a state,” she said.

The resolution must have the support of at least nine of the 15 Council members, including those with the right to veto, such as the United States.. Once this procedure was completed, the resolution had to go through a second vote in the General Assembly, where it had to be approved by a two-thirds majority of the 193 member states.

The petition was initially presented in 2011, although the process was paralyzed and has been relaunched again after the Palestinian representative to the UN, Riad Mansur, requested in early April in a letter to the Secretary General, António Guterres, that the non-member observer status be reviewed.

The UN Security Council met this Thursday to vote on Palestine’s entry as a full member of the United Nations. The secretary general, António Guterres has stressed “the responsibility and moral obligation” of the international community to make a Palestinian State viable.during the opening of the Council meeting.

Israel warns that giving Palestinians a state “is the greatest reward for terrorism”

Israel warned today in the UN Security Council that if it passes a resolution approving the full admission of Palestine into the organization it would be “the highest prize for terrorism“.

Israel’s ambassador to the UN, Gilad Erdan, has insisted that such a resolution, if approved, “will have zero impact on the parties”, in addition to “causing destruction for years and damaging any possibility of future dialogue.”

The ambassador recalled that October 7 – the date of the Hamas attack against Israel – was “the largest massacre of Jews after the Holocaust”, and despite this “this Council tries to reward its perpetrators and those who support them with a State “The Hamas rapists must be watching this meeting and smiling,” he said.

Palestine asks the UN for a resolution like the one that allowed Israel’s admission

The representative of the Palestinian Authority sent today to the UN, Ziad Abu Amr, reminded the Security Council that his country is only asking for the same thing that Israel had: a UN resolution that guarantees its accession to the organization.

His message has been directed above all to the United States and other countries of the European Union (EU) that ask that the Palestinian State be the result of negotiations with Israel and not through a resolution.

To them he said: “How was the State of Israel recognized? Through a UN resolution, number 181“, he recalled.
