US block vote on Palestinian state UN membership
The U.N Security Council is set to vote tomorrow on a bid by the Palestinian Authority to become a full member state.In order to be successful a council resolution needs at least nine votes in favour and no vetoes by the permanent five members.
But, the U.S is widely expected to block such a move because it would effectively recognise a Palestinian state, despite the Biden administration's pledge to fully support a two-state solution.
