The U.N. General Assembly is poised to vote on granting expanded rights to Palestine and urging the Security Council to reconsider its bid for U.N. membership. Despite U.S. opposition, the resolution is expected to pass overwhelmingly. The move comes amid heightened Israeli-Palestinian conflict and a humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Initially met with concerns from major powers, the resolution’s language was revised to address worries about setting precedents for other regions. Meanwhile, U.S. legislation threatens funding cuts to U.N. agencies granting full Palestinian membership.
