The Biden administration vetoed a resolution today at the UN Security Council to grant full membership to the Palestinians.

According to the news, 12 countries voted in favor of it and two abstained.

The veto kills the resolution.

I’ll update as soon as I get the actual vote so you can see how approved and who abstained.

UPDATE: The Jerusalem Post writes “12 countries voted in favor, including both France and Japan, while the UK and Switzerland abstained.”

 
UPDATE 2: The five permanent members of the UN Security Council with veto power are: China, France, Russian Federation, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The other 10 non-permanent members are “Algeria, Ecuador, Guyana, Japan, Malta, Mozambique, Republic of Korea, Sierra Leone, Slovenia, Switzerland.”

Knowing that France and Japan voted yes, that Switzerland and the UK abstained and that the US vetoed, the rest listed above would have voted in the affirmative for Palestinian membership.

Meaning Algeria, China, Ecuador, France, Guyana, Japan, Malta, Mozambique, Republic of Korea, Sierra Leone, Slovenia, and Russia wanted Palestinian membership.
