Israel blocked a Palestinian attempt to gain full membership at the United Nations, the Jewish Press website reports today (january 7, 2019).
Acting with the U.S. and other allies at the UN, Israel thwarted the Palestinian Authority (PA) attempt to upgrade its status at the UN from an observer state to a voting state with full membership.
Israeli Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon led the effort to stop the Palestinian initiative.
Dannon said that to be accepted to the UN, an entity "must love and seek peace." He added, "The majority of the Palestinians embrace terrorism and do not meet this criterion."
