International media have reported that America has vetoed the full membership of Palestine in the United Nations.


According to Amac News; Al-Jazeera TV (Thursday night, 18 april) published a report and wrote that the United Nations Security Council failed to approve a draft resolution accepting Palestine's full membership in the United Nations.
According to this report, after the US veto, the meeting of the UN Security Council has not reached a conclusion, and the vote on granting Palestine full membership has been postponed until next week.
Ziad Abu Amr, the representative of Palestine in the United Nations, has said that the Palestinians have always been victims of international events and decisions.
He added: "Full membership in the United Nations is a right that we must achieve through dialogue, not through an international decision. "Anyone who blocks the decision for Palestine's full membership in the United Nations will not help increase the chances of peace in our region."
The representative of Palestine in the United Nations added: "Our involvement in the case of full membership in the United Nations will not cause the Gaza war to be forgotten. A large part of Palestine has become uninhabitable. Israeli attacks against our citizens in the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem are increasing.
However, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said at the meeting of the Security Council of this organization: "The Middle East is on the edge of the abyss and it only takes one mistake for this war to turn into a wider and more destructive conflict."
The Secretary General of the United Nations called for an end to the "bloody cycle of revenge" in the Gaza Strip and said: "An end to the violence in Gaza will also eliminate widespread tensions in the Middle East."
Meanwhile, the country of Barbados, located in the Caribbean island in North America, recognized Palestine as an independent country. This country is the 140th country among the United Nations member states that recognized the state of Palestine.
Kerry Symonds, the foreign minister of Barbados, said that the country's cabinet has decided that the time has come to recognize Palestine as an independent country and establish formal diplomatic relations with it.
