Would Joe Biden Veto the Attempt of ‘the State of Palestine’ to Become a Full Member of the United Nations?

14

Mahmoud Abbas, the president of the Palestinian Authority who is currently in the eighteenth year of the four-year term to which he was elected, has with great fanfare announced, at a recent Arab League meeting, his intention to seek full membership in the United Nations for the entity he refers to as the “State of Palestine,” despite the fact that the Palestinian territories, as devoted as they are to the destruction of Israel at the expense of all other considerations, can hardly be said to be exercising any kind of independence. More can be found here on that. Meanwhile, Egypt’s El-Sissi has warned Israel against changing the status quo on the Temple Mount:

He said such measures would impede the long-sought-after two-state solution to the conflict, which would leave “both parties and the whole Middle East with difficult and grave options.”

Even Prime Minister Netanyahu’s assurance that the “status quo” on the Temple Mount would be preserved has not silenced the alarmists. El-Sissi, who welcomes and needs Israeli security cooperation in the Sinai, should have kept quiet or, even better, have said that “Prime Minister Netanyahu has assured me that the status quo will be maintained on the Haram al-Sharif [the Muslim name for the Temple Mount] and I believe him.”

Story continues below advertisement

Ahmed Aboul-Gheit, the secretary-general of the pan-Arab organization, repeated a common accusation that Israel could be attempting to partition the Temple Mount, known to Muslims as the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, and obliterate its Arab and Islamic identity, saying this “would fuel endless unrest and violence.”

Such claims have been made without evidence for many decades, with Israel saying it has no such plans.

There has never been a plan, a plot, a scintilla of a scheme by Israel to “partition the Temple Mount” and “obliterate its Arab and Islamic identity.” This is one of those crazy claims made by Palestinian and other Arabs, without the slightest foundation, but useful for whipping up the Palestinian street. This charge that Israel plans to ”partition the Temple Mount” is, in its preposterousness, akin to the fantastical claim made by deluded Arabs that Israel wants to extend its territory “from the Nile to the Euphrates.”

Meanwhile, Mahmoud Abbas can go ahead and attempt to have the “State of Palestine” become a full member of the UN, but there is one thing standing athwart these plans. In order for a state to become a member of the UN, it first must submit an application to the Secretary-General, and a letter formally stating that it accepts the obligations under the Charter. So far, so possible.

But then the Security Council steps in. To quote from the official UN website on “How a State Becomes a Member of the UN”:

The Security Council considers the application. Any recommendation for admission must receive the affirmative votes of 9 of the 15 members of the Council, provided that none of its five permanent members — China, France, the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the United States of America — have voted against the application.

That means the United States can veto the attempt by “the State of Palestine” to become a full-fledged member of the United Nations. Biden will be under terrific pressure to exercise that veto, not only from Israel’s many supporters in the Democratic Party, but from the entire Republican Congressional delegation, that controls the House and is almost even in the Senate (51 Democrats-49 Republicans).

The Presidential election is less than two years away. Biden’s approval rating hovers at 40%. He has reneged on his pledge to reopen the “consulate to the Palestinians” in east Jerusalem, possibly because he now realizes it would require acceptance by the Receiving State – Israel — and that acceptance will not be forthcoming. He has further chosen to ignore his previous promise to reopen the PLO office in Washington. Given that the UN is already a kangaroo court with Israel perennially in the dock, making “the State of Palestine” a full-fledged and voting member of the UN would only make matters worse, as that new member would introduce endless resolutions denouncing Israel – even more than are currently considered. It would also add one more very vocal anti-Western terrorism-supporting despotism, a supporter of Russia, China, and Iran, to the UN’s membership roll. Is that what the Administration wants?

Yes he would!!!!!! He will do anything the corrupt, evil Biden Admin, Soros and all that support them tell him what to do!

We have traitors in the midst and Country destroyers that need eradicated in probably ways we don’t wanna do. Sometimes when people deliberately destroy our Country and keep doing it and get away with it, we the people have to take the only stand left……………WAR! or things will get worse and worse until we have no control, power, money, freedom. Fight fire with fire to gain control of the things taken away from us or let it all go down…..and what’s left would be the young ones born into this and will suffer from it, YOUR CHILDREN deserve a better life! We the people deserve a better life and Illegal Immigrants ARE NOT INCLUDED, they also need eradicated out of our Country.

The U.K is corrupt and evil too but the will eventually fall!

They don’t want a 2nd Palestinian state.
Because Palestinians already have Jordan, the first palestinian state. Jordan was 80% of the land.

The title of the video is “Why isn’t there a Palestinian State”. It should be: “Why isn’t there a 2nd Palestinian State”.

There isn’t one because Palestinians don’t want one. They rejected 5 or more offers for a state of their own; including 1 offer that included HALF of Jerusalem. Their goal is to ethnically cleanse the Jews off the land. See video.

Because they know that the radicalism among Palestinians isn’t just anecdotal, it’s part of the structure of their schools and society.

Ironic, even the BBC documented that. might repost some time.

That picture of those two even men Joe Biden and Mahmoud Abbas joining hands together in their sinister schemes is a very strong reminder that in the Bible it’s written in Proverbs 11:21 “Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not go unpunished.” [K.J.V.]

The creation of the third state of Israel, a refuge for the survivors of the European Jewish community, may be called a miracle; but we cannot demand another miracle, it doesn’t work that way in Judaism or life in general. When Iran’s nuclear facilities are destroyed, when the Palestinians are told to renounce violence or leave, the UN General Assembly will froth at the mouth and be ignored.
