While tension is extremely high in the Middle East and the Middle East, the United States on Thursday put an end to the Palestinians’ dream of full membership in the UN, unsurprisingly vetoing the Security Council to a claim hated by their Israeli ally, in the midst of the war in Gaza.
For several weeks, the Palestinians, who have had the lower status of “non-member observer state” since 2012, as well as the Arab countries, have implored the Council to accept that a “Palestinian state” already recognized by the majority of capitals takes its “legitimate” place within the United Nations. In vain. The United States, which did everything to delay the vote, did not hesitate to use its right of veto which it regularly uses to protect its Israeli ally.
A decision immediately denounced by the Palestinian Authority seeing it as a “blatant aggression” which pushes the Middle East “to the brink of the abyss”. This rejection “will not break our will, will not stop our determination. We will not stop our efforts. The State of Palestine is inevitable, it is real,” said Palestinian Ambassador to the UN Riyad Mansour in tears.

Opposite fortunes for the French teams in the quarter-finals of the European Football Cup on Thursday evening.
