YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe United Nations General Assembly voted overwhelmingly Friday to grant Palestinians additional rights at the world body, a largely symbolic show of international support amid growing calls for a cease-fire in Israel’s war against Hamas.
The vote would allow Palestinians, which have held observer-state status at the UN since 2012, to submit their own resolutions and fully participate in UN and international conferences.
The measure also recommends the Security Council reconsider Palestine’s request for full-membership, a move the US blocked last month.
Of the 193 UN member states, 143 voted in favor of the resolution, which had almost 80 co-sponsors. The US, Israel and seven others voted against, while 25 abstained.
