The United Nations Security Council reached an agreement on the 8th to accept Palestine's application to join the United Nations as a full member of the United Nations. Mansour, Permanent Observer of Palestine to the United Nations, said that the Palestinian side sincerely hopes that the Security Council will approve the application.
On April 8, local time, the United Nations Security Council reached an agreement to accept Palestine's application to become a full member of the United Nations, and the Committee on the Admission of New Members of the Security Council also held its first internal consultations on this issue on the same day.
Fraser, Permanent Representative of Malta to the United Nations, Chairman-in-Office of the Security Council for this month:
I will make a request to the Committee on the Admission of New Members to reconsider the application of Palestine, an observer State to the United Nations, during April 2024, and I have heard no objections and so decided.
Mansour, Permanent Observer of Palestine to the United Nations, said that this is a historic day and that the Palestinian side sincerely hopes that the Security Council will be able to adopt the Palestinian demand.
Mansour, Permanent Observer of Palestine to the United Nations:
It is our sincere hope that, 12 years after we have been observer States, the Council will be able to implement the global consensus on the two-State solution through the application of Palestine for full membership.
Israel's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Erdan, said that the goal of the Palestinians is to exterminate the Jews, and if Palestine becomes a member of the United Nations, it will be committed to terrorist activities and the elimination of Israel.
Permanent Representative of Israel to the United Nations Erdan:
This will not be an ordinary State, it will be a Palestinian State, an entity dedicated to terrorism, to the elimination of Israel, to achieve statehood.
Palestine is currently an observer in the United Nations, and the admission of Palestine as a full Member of the United Nations requires the concurrence of the Security Council and the General Assembly.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas applied in 2011 to become a full member of the United Nations, but the United States said that an agreement must be reached between Palestine and Israel first, and threatened to use veto power in the Security Council, so Palestine suspended the application.
