According to a spokesman for the foreign ministry, Israel would call ambassadors of nations that supported full Palestinian UN membership “for a protest talk” on Sunday. Following Washington’s defeat of the Palestinian membership bid earlier this week, the Palestinian Authority declared that it would “reconsider” its ties with the United States.
Twelve UN Security Council nations supported a resolution calling for full Palestinian membership on Thursday; two, Switzerland and Britain, abstained. The only country to vote against the resolution, using its veto power, was the United States, Israel’s most steadfast ally.
According to Oren Marmorstein, a spokesman for the Israeli foreign ministry, the ministry will summon for a protest talk the ambassadors of the countries that voted in favor of upgrading the status of the Palestinians in the UN on Saturday.
He stated on X that a strong complaint will be delivered to the embassies of the Slovak Republic, France, Japan, South Korea, Malta, and Ecuador when they are called for a demarche tomorrow. Further nations will be shown the same protest, he declared.
The draft resolution proposed to replace the State of Palestine’s present status as a non-member observer state, which it has had since 2012, with a recommendation to the General Assembly that the State of Palestine be admitted to membership in the United Nations.
According to a Palestinian count, 137 out of the 193 member states of the UN have acknowledged the existence of a Palestinian state.
