Israel’s proposal to the United States to cut off the UN budget

According to the international group Tasnim news agency, Israel proposed If the United Nations General Assembly approves a resolution to support Palestine’s full membership in the United Nations, the United States may cut off the budget of all institutions of this organization.

Palestine is currently a “permanent observer member” of the United Nations and is unable to vote despite participating in the organization’s meetings.

The United Nations General Assembly may vote on a draft resolution calling for the recognition of the Palestinian Authority as a full member of the United Nations. This draft asked the Security Council to reconsider its previous decision.

Reuters news agency wrote that this vote in the General Assembly shows the level of support for the Palestinians to be recognized as The country is independent.

Last month, most countries supported the formation of an independent Palestinian state in the Security Council meeting, but the United States vetoed this resolution. Full membership in the United Nations is achieved if 15 members of the Security Council approve the membership resolution of that country.

US law stipulates that Washington will not be able to financially support any UN subsidiary organization that grants full membership to groups that do not have “recognized indicators” of statehood. . In 2011, after UNESCO granted full membership to the self-governing organization, America cut off its financial support to this organization. “If this resolution passes, I expect the United States to completely cut off funding to the United Nations and its agencies in accordance with U.S. law,” he told Friday’s General Assembly vote on Palestine. container readmore-container”>members of the US Congress threatened the International Criminal Court
