Full UN membership won’t help Palestinians with statehood, US ambassador says [Video]

  • U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield has voiced concerns about a U.N. resolution.
  • The resolution supports full membership of the Palestinian Authority.
  • Thomas-Greenfield said the proposal wouldn’t necessarily contribute to a two-state solution.

U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield said on Wednesday she did not see a U.N. resolution recommending the Palestinian Authority become a full U.N. member helping lead to a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Thomas-Greenfield made the comments at a news conference in Seoul, after being asked whether the United States was open to recognise the request by the Palestinian Authority to have full U.N. membership.

“We do not see that doing a resolution in the Security Council will necessarily get us to a place where we can find… a two-state solution moving forward,” said Thomas-Greenfield.
