U.N. Resolution Over Palestine Membership Vetoed by U.S.

A U.N. draft resolution that would've accepted Palestine as a full member went to the floor of the United Nations Security Council and was vetoed by the U.S. on Thursday. The resolution would've let Palestine become an actual member of the U.N., as opposed to their current status as a non-member observer nation. Switzerland and the U.K. were the only UNSC members that didn't vote in favor of the resolution, instead abstaining.
