UN expectations for Palestinian Authority revived by Security Council

The UN Security Council on Monday gave the Palestinian Authority a new chance to become a full member of the United Nations.

The United States said that Israel and the Palestinians are not getting along well. This pretty much ends the Palestinian Authority’s hope of becoming a member of the UN for now.

The US is one of five important members who can say no to any council decision. The Palestinian Authority’s UN delegation said on Monday that they need to control all of the Palestinian territories and talk to Israel about becoming a state before they can become a state.

The Palestinian Authority controls some areas of the West Bank that are under Israeli occupation. Hamas took control of Gaza in 2007 and the forces were forced to leave. They don’t have any power in Gaza now.

US deputy ambassador Robert Wood said that the decision about whether Palestinians can become full members should be talked about between Israel and the Palestinians.

After many attempts at peace talks that didn’t work, the Palestinians are now asking the United Nations to help them become an independent state. Israel says these actions are trying to avoid the official discussions. Israel’s current government is led by people who are against giving the Palestinians their own state.

Last week, people who want to help the Palestinians join the United Nations asked the Security Council to consider their request again. The Palestinians tried to join in 2011 but it didn’t happen. The Palestinians are trying again to become a member of the UN. This is happening while the war between Israel and Hamas has been going on for almost six months. The conflict between Palestinians and Israelis, which has been going on for many years, is getting a lot of attention again.

Israel’s UN ambassador said that there is no chance for Palestinians to have their own country. He said this is because it is important for Israel to be able to keep existing.

“Even before the creation of the UN, the Palestinians have always wanted to destroy the Jews,” said Ambassador Gilad Erdan to reporters. The United Nations was created after World War II, and the harmful beliefs that led to the war are still common among the Palestinians.

The Security Council will make a decision about whether Palestine can join the UN this month. A committee will meet again on Thursday to talk about this. Vanessa Frazier, who is the president of the Security Council, said this.

“The Palestinian UN ambassador, Riyad Mansour, said this is a very important moment in history. ”

The leader of Palestine, Mahmoud Abbas, gave a request to the United Nations to become a member. He gave the request to the Secretary-General on September. On September 23, 2011, before speaking to leaders from around the world at the General Assembly.

“It was an important moment in the past, and now that moment has happened again,” Mansour told the reporters.
