Palestinian Statehood to Loom Large at UN General Assembly
A dozen countries, including key U.S. allies, recognize Palestinian statehood at the U.N., increasing total recognitions to 156 out of 193 members amid ongoing Gaza conflict.
- This week in New York, the United Nations General Assembly is convening its 80th meeting, with a major focus on the increasing acknowledgment of Palestinian statehood.
- This focus follows Sunday’s announcements that the UK, Australia, Canada, and Portugal recognized Palestine, triggering Israeli right-wing calls for annexation of West Bank areas.
- Prime Minister Netanyahu, currently in the United States, signaled he will raise annexation at the next cabinet meeting and meet President Trump next Monday to discuss the issue.
- The U.S. vetoed the sixth binding Security Council resolution demanding an immediate Gaza ceasefire and humanitarian aid, further isolating Washington and Israel internationally.
- These developments highlight growing regional tensions amid worsening Palestinian humanitarian conditions and Israeli consideration of sanctions on countries recognizing Palestine.
