The United States vetoed a UN Security Council application granting statehood to Palestinians on Thursday. The vote resulted in a 12-1 outcome, with the US being the sole dissenting vote, and two countries abstaining from the decision.
The US, a key ally of Israel, expressed its stance that statehood for Palestinians should be achieved through negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians. The State Department deputy spokesperson emphasized the US's consistent position that premature actions in New York would not lead to statehood for the Palestinian people.
