Palestinians seek UN General Assembly vote for full UN membership recognition.

Palestinians are seeking UN General Assembly backing for full membership, with a draft resolution set to be voted on Friday. The resolution would recognize Palestine as qualified to become a full UN member and would recommend the UN Security Council "reconsider the matter favourably." The vote will gauge international support for Palestinian statehood, which requires approval from both the Security Council and the General Assembly. This move comes after the US vetoed the Palestinian bid in the UN Security Council last month.
