The members of the United Nations Security Council did not reach a consensus on Thursday, April 11 (23 July) regarding the full membership of the Palestinians.

Vanessa Fraser, Ambassador of Malta to the United Nations Security Council, said that during a meeting behind closed doors on the full membership of Palestine, the members of this council will not reach a full agreement.

He added that, however, two-thirds of the council members have expressed their support for full Palestinian membership. But the name of these countries is not known.

The committee working in this regard can proceed with this process only if there is a consensus, and if all the members of the Security Council agree, each of them can propose a resolution in this regard.

According to information from diplomatic sources, it is likely that the vote in this regard will take place on April 18 and the draft resolution will be proposed by Algeria.

Therefore, if Palestine is to gain full membership of the Security Council, it must win 15 votes, but observers say that the United States will veto the resolution.

Washington says that the United Nations is not a place to discuss the creation of a Palestinian state, and this should be realized as a result of negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians.

According to US law, the US is obliged to cut off funding to other UN offices if it grants full membership to the Palestinians.

Since 2012, the Palestinians have been seeking membership in the Security Council, and for years they have been trying to gain full membership in the council, a position that can help them gain legitimacy for an independent Palestinian state.

Any child who wants to be a full member of the United Nations Security Council must first obtain the approval of the Council and then get the support of the United Nations General Assembly.

The Palestinians proposed full membership in 2011, and during Israel’s military offensive against Gaza, they once again proposed its revival, and this order caused the Security Council to formally review the proposal.

Riyad Mansour, the Palestinian representative at the United Nations, said this week that “we only want our rightful place among the nations.”
