State of Palestine takes seat at UN General Assembly
Palestinians took a seat at the UN General Assembly on Tuesday.
It is a new right accorded to the Palestinian Authority’s delegation despite it not being a full member of the body.
In May, an overwhelming majority of the General Assembly asserted that Palestinians deserved full membership.
The General Assembly granted the delegation certain new rights in a resolution, which still excludes it from being able to vote or be a member of the Security Council.
An Israeli envoy decried the May decision calling it “a reward for terrorism.”
