Palestinians, who since 2012 have had the status of “Non-member observer state”had been campaigning for several weeks together with the Arab countries for the Security Council to accept that a “Palestinian state” will take its “rightful” place in United Nations.

For a State to become a full member of the UNthe initiative must first be recommended by the Security Council with at least nine votes in favor, out of a total of 15, and without a veto from the five permanent members who have this prerogative (USA, Russia, China, France and United Kingdom).
