79th UN General Assembly grants Palestine a non-voting seat among member states.
During the 79th United Nations General Assembly, Palestine was granted a seat among member states, a significant milestone despite not holding full membership. This decision, supported by over 140 votes, allows Palestine to submit proposals but does not grant voting rights. Israel condemned the move, arguing it reflects political favoritism and contending that UN privileges are reserved for sovereign nations. The session aims to address global issues like poverty and sustainable development.
