The reasons for America’s obstruction in the way of Palestine’s full membership in the United Nations

According to the international group Tasnim news agency

Why can’t Palestine be a member of the United Nations?

According to the UN rules, membership in the UN must go through three stages. First, a country that wants to be a member must submit its request to the Secretary General of the United Nations. The Secretary General of the United Nations will forward this request to the Security Council to be approved there. If the membership application is approved by the Security Council, the submitted application will be transferred to the General Assembly, where two-thirds of the members must vote for it so that the country applying for membership can become an official member of the United Nations. to enjoy the right to vote.

America is the only obstacle to Palestinian membership in the United Nations

According to the process mentioned above, Palestine has gone through the path of becoming a member of the United Nations twice so far. One time in 2012 and the second time in 2024. In both times, the Palestinian Authority as the executive arm of the Palestine Liberation Organization – which was recognized in the United Nations in 1972 as the legal representative of the Palestinian nation – applied for membership. Palestine as an official and main member of the United Nations has presented to the Secretary General of the United Nations. In 2012, the request for membership was submitted to Ban Ki-moon, the then Secretary-General of the United Nations, and in 2024, this request was submitted to Antonio Guterres, the current Secretary-General of the organization. In both periods, according to the legal process, the secretaries-general forwarded Palestine’s membership request to the Security Council, so that after the council’s approval, it will be returned to the General Assembly for a vote.

But in both cases, the United States vetoed this request and prevented Palestine from becoming an official member of the United Nations.

In both cases, member states in the General Assembly voted in favor of the Palestinian membership resolution. In 2012, Palestine managed to achieve 138 positive votes and in 2024, 143 positive votes (which includes the favorable vote of three quarters of the UN members). In the meantime, it is Washington that stands against the will of three quarters of the world’s countries regarding the Palestinian issue.

American excuses on the way to Palestinian membership in the United Nations

The Americans, in opposition to Palestine’s membership in the United Nations, claim that this issue should be resolved through PLO negotiations with the Zionist regime. But the important point is that after the end of the era of Barack Obama – who claimed to complete the reconciliation negotiations and his actions did not come to fruition due to the disruption of “Netanyahu” – in America, no action has been taken in line with the reconciliation negotiations. /p>

In the White House, after “Obama”, “Trump” took office, who presented the “Deal of the Century” plan, practically the plan of a Jewish state. It replaced the two-state plan considered by previous American presidents. A plan that the Europeans have invested in and have been providing limited aid to self-governing organizations for years.

So From “Trump”, Democratic “Biden” claim was that he wants the continuation of the compromise negotiations, the result of which is the implementation of the two-state plan and the establishment of the Palestinian state. However, by deceiving the leaders of the self-governing organizations and Abumazen, “Biden” practically ran them over during the last 3 years of his presidency, and he did not take any practical steps to advance reconciliation negotiations.

During the Al-Aqsa storm, even though the “Biden” government always claimed to implement the two-state plan in Gaza after the war, what it showed in the field was supporting the killings of the Zionist regime. And he failed the only step that could prove the claim of the “Biden” government regarding the implementation of the two-state plan and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state, and by vetoing the request for Palestinian membership in the United Nations, he showed that he has no obligation to implement his claim. and has only preserved its democratic gesture.

The will of the international community, against the American veto

Now, Palestine is recognized as a member of the United Nations by the majority of the member states by obtaining nearly three-fourths of the votes (143 votes) of the member states of the United Nations. The will of three quarters of the world’s countries is for Palestine to be a member of the United Nations. But America, with the right of veto, stands against this global will. Based on this, Palestine is in reality a member without the right to be a member of the United Nations, facing only American totalitarianism on the way to its full membership in the largest international organization.

self-governing organizations, after 30 years of negotiations with the Zionist regime, the recognition of this regime and Accepting the formation of Palestine in less than 20% of historical Palestine has reached a point where, with the veto of its master, who has dictated this entire path over the past 30 years, it cannot reach its minimum demand and is in a dead end. has taken. This means proving the key point that America, the West and all the allies of this country do not understand a language other than resistance, and only through resistance can the rights of the Palestinians be restored and returned to this nation.
