The U.S. has promised to vote against any resolution that would seek to grant the Palestinians full membership in the United Nations after a General Assembly resolution passed with significant support from member states.
"Our vote does not reflect opposition to Palestinian statehood," U.S. Deputy Ambassador to the U.N. Robert Wood said after the vote. "We have been very clear that we support it and seek to advance it meaningfully: Instead, it is an acknowledgment that statehood will only come from a process that involves direct negotiations between the parties."
"This resolution does not resolve the concerns about the Palestinian membership application raised in April in the Security Council through the admissions committee process," Wood added. "Should the Security Council take up the Palestinian membership application as a result of this resolution, there will be a similar outcome."
The vote, brought to the floor by the United Arab Emirates, received support from 143 members, with nine voting against and 25 abstaining.
The "no" votes included Argentina, Hungary, Israel and the United States, among others, while the abstentions included Albania, Austria, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Finland, Germany, Italy, Lithuania, Monaco, the Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine and the United Kingdom, among others.
"A negotiated two-state solution remains the best path towards an enduring peace where Israelis and Palestinians can live side by side with equal measures of security, freedom, and dignity," the U.S. Mission to the U.N. wrote on social media platform X after the vote. "Unilateral measures like the UNGA resolution on Palestinian UN membership adopted today will not advance this goal."

“I am against the creation of a Palestinian state.” That’s all you need to say to anyone. No explanation needed.
If they insist you can explain they’re Arabs and it’s an Arab problem.
Trudeau will have his UN crew abstain from the vote , he wants them to hide like he was hiding during the trucker thing ,LOL
Do they mean “quash”?
But really my opinion is US out of UN.
How do you account for the fact that the United Nations Charter follows the format of the Russian (USSR) Constitution of 1936 rather than the format of the (Covenant of the) League of Nations? Would you feel there was any significance in the fact that the general secretary for the organization which drew up the charter was Alger Hiss? …More than just shredding needs to happen to the abominable UN charter. It is the leg all leftist tyrannies around the world (including Islamic socialist ones, i.e. all of them) have stood on since the end of WWII.

the Israeli ambassador at the UnitedNazis, faced with an impossible assignment, really handles that sheitty job exceptionally well.
He’s definitely got a talent
when the U.S. is out of the U.N., no one will care.
In the end there are only two options: two states for two people or equal citizenship for both Jews and Arabs in a single state. Choose. (This applies to both sides. Neither population is going away.)
US out of UN
UN out of US

As loathsome as Nikki Haley has become, I still miss her at the UN - her “Palestinian mike-drop” was one for the ages.
I see our goodbuddy allies Ukraine abstained. $61 billion doesn’t buy much loyalty these days.
