The question of Palestine’s UN membership
Israel’s war on Gaza has raised several ethical, political, and diplomatic questions. On May 10, the UNGA overwhelmingly adopted a resolution affirming Palestine’s eligibility to assume full membership in the U.N. When Mongolia’s membership application was stuck in the UNSC, the UNGA intervened with a resolution similar to what was done in the Palestine case, suggesting that Mongolia deserves a favourable recommendation by the UNSC. India’s approach India joined 142 member countries in supporting the UNGA in the May 2024 resolution favouring Palestine’s case for membership. In a less likely scenario, the U.S. might refrain from casting yet again its veto or abstain from voting, as an expression of displeasure with Israel for ignoring its advice to cease attacks against Gazan civilians, thereby paving the way for the UNGA’s approval of Palestine’s membership.
