This is breaking US will vote "no" on Palestinian statehood at the UN, State Department spokesperson says The United States will vote "no" on a United Nations Security Council resolution for Palestinian statehood in the UN, State Department deputy spokesperson Vedant Patel said Thursday. Patel said that the US has “been very clear, consistently, that premature actions in New York, even with the best intentions, will not achieve statehood for the Palestinian people.” He also noted there was not unanimity as to whether the applicant met the criteria for membership as a state. He said the US believes “the most expeditious path towards statehood for the Palestinian people is through direct negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority with the support of the United States and other partners who share this goal.” edition.cnn.com/middleeast/live-news/israel-hamas-war-gaza-news-04-18-24/index.html
