Security Council committee evaluating the Palestinian Authority's latest bid to become a full member
The Security Council committee evaluating the Palestinian Authority ’s latest bid to become a full member of the United Nations has failed to reach a consensus after two rounds of closed-door discussions.
A similar effort in 2011 failed followed by a General Assembly decision to elevate Palestine to non-member observer state status without voting rights at the UN. Its latest membership application comes some six months since the start of the Israel-Hamas war which followed the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7th.
But given key countries’ consistent opposition to the move, including the veto-wielding United States, the process appeared predictable from the start. The SABC asked the Council President if, despite the lack of consensus, she expected a draft resolution on membership to be put to a vote in the Council next week after the Arab group indicated it would push for such a measure, led by Algeria.
