No veto’s in the General Assembly, that would be the Security Council.

This is all symbolic of course, the UN doesn’t have the power to decide what is and what is not a country

Okay thanks. I thought some of the condemnation votes against Israel had taken place in the General Assembly and had been vetoed by the U. S.

Frankly, I couldn’t tell you what does or doesn’t make a country official.

It would seem that 185 or so nations recognizing it as such, and only a few objecting, it would pretty much be a done deal.

After 1948, it’s not really Israeli territory is it?

Come to think of it, didn’t the Arabs on the West Bank and Gaza refuse to sign that agreement? Are all the prior lands still considered one parcel due to that? I don’t honestly know.

If so, Israel would seem to have the final say.
