00:00 Before watching the video, let me remind you that there is more content on the Hotline.
00:04 Since the founding of the United Nations, the issue of Palestine has been an important issue for the UN.
00:11 Yesterday, the UN Security Council again voted against the decision to apply for the UN member state.
00:18 The UN finally won 12 votes in favor, 2 votes abstained from the UK and Switzerland, and 1 vote rejected from the United States.
00:25 Since accepting a new member state is a substantive issue, it requires at least 9 members of the Security Council to agree, and no permanent member state can be denied.
00:34 Therefore, as a permanent member state, the United States voted against the decision, which led to the failure of the decision to enter the UN.
00:40 The hope of Palestine joining the United Nations has been destroyed again.
00:44 The United States Assistant Ambassador to the United Nations, Wood, said that the reason why the United States voted against the decision was because it has not yet been determined whether Palestine meets the standards of a single country.
00:54 He said that this vote does not mean that the United States opposes the establishment of a Palestinian state.
00:59 It's just that the United States believes that Palestine's right to become a member state should be decided by Israel and Palestine directly.
01:06 As for the decision, the Palestinian Presidential Office also made a statement yesterday.
01:11 The U.S. rejection is unfair, immoral and unreasonable, and it also violates the will of the international community.
01:18 The statement also criticized that the United States has been constantly emphasizing that it supports the two-state plan, but now it is blocking the establishment of a Palestinian state through the right to deny it.
01:27 This also exposed the contradiction in the decision-making of the United States on the issue of the tail.
01:31 As for China, it is disappointed with the United States' right to deny it.
01:34 China's long-term UN representative, Fu Cong, said that the establishment of an independent state is the dream of the Palestinian people for generations.
01:41 But the U.S. rejection has completely crushed the dream of the Palestinians.
01:45 It even criticized the U.S. for giving this reason, which is the root of the problem.
01:50 The draft resolution has not been adopted owing to the negative vote of a permanent member of the council.
01:58 The UN Security Council yesterday asked whether to accept the Palestinian state as a member state of the United Nations.
02:04 In the end, the U.S. rejection did not pass.
02:07 U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Wood, said that the U.S. believes that the right to make Palestine a member state should be decided by a direct negotiation between Israel and Palestine, not by a UN vote, so it voted against the vote.
02:36 After the vote, the Palestinian UN representative, Mansour, said that they have waited decades.
02:43 Although the resolution was rejected in the Security Council, Palestine will not give up its establishment.
02:49 We've been waiting since 1947, and we are in 2024.
02:55 Those who voted in favor and even those who voted differently, of the passion that it contained in your commitment and understanding the pain and the moment of the Palestinian people.
03:11 I salute you in the name of the Palestinian people and their leadership.
