Details
143 countries voted in favor of the resolution, only 9 were against, and 25 abstained from voting.
This resolution does not guarantee immediate UN recognition of a Palestinian state. The United States, using its veto power, can override such a decision. However, the resolution determines that the Palestinians have the right to UN membership and recommends that the Security Council reconsider this issue.
