The United States exercised its veto power to block a U.N. resolution endorsing full United Nations membership for Palestine. Despite widespread support, the resolution faced opposition from the U.S., resulting in a vote of 12 in favor, one opposed (the U.S.), and two abstentions. This move underscores ongoing tensions surrounding the Palestinian statehood issue and highlights the complexities of international diplomacy at the United Nations.
