The United States on Thursday spoiled a long-shot Palestinian bid for full United Nations membership
UNITED NATIONS – , vetoing a Security Council measure despite growing international distress over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
Palestinian leader Mahmud Abbas's office called the US veto "a blatant aggression" and "an encouragement to the pursuit of the genocidal war against our people... which pushes the region ever further to the edge of the abyss." Ambassador Amar Bendjama from Algeria, which introduced the draft, said: "Failure to act is a serious unforgivable mistake. Failure to wake up today is a license for continuing injustice and impunity.Any request to become a UN member state must first earn a recommendation from the Security Council -- meaning at least nine positive votes out of 15, and no vetoes -- followed by endorsement by two-thirds majority of the General Assembly.
"The United States continues to strongly support the two-state solution," US Deputy Ambassador Robert Wood said after the vote Thursday. Israel's government opposes a two-state solution, the outcome supported by most of the international community. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres painted a dark picture of the situation in the Middle East, saying the region was "on a precipice."
