Israel announced that it would invite the Korean ambassador to Israel on the 21st (local time) in protest against Korea’s vote in favor of the Palestinian Authority’s plan to join full UN membership held in the UN Security Council.
According to AFP, on the 20th, the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced through social media
Spokesman Marmorstein predicted, “The ambassadors of France, Japan, Korea, Malta, Slovakia, and Ecuador will be called to a protest meeting tomorrow (21st), and a strong protest will be presented to them.”
The spokesperson added that “the same protest will be communicated to other countries” that voted the same way as these countries. He said, “The clear message to be delivered to the ambassadors of all countries is as follows,” and he argued, “The demand to recognize a Palestinian state six months after the massacre on October 7 (last year) is compensation for terrorism .”
Israel’s position so far is that the plight of the Palestinian Authority should not be recognized at a time when 1,600 people in Israel were killed in a surprise attack by the armed Palestinian political faction Hamas in October last year, and around 130 hostages who were kidnapped have not yet returned from the Strip. Gaza.
Before that, the United Nations Security Council held a plenary meeting at the United Nations Headquarters in New York on the 18th and voted on a resolution for Palestine to become a full member of the United Nations. At the time, 12 members of the Security Council, including Korea, voted in favor, but the decision was rejected due to the veto of the United States, a permanent member. Two countries, including the UK and Switzerland, abstained.
For a resolution to be passed by the Security Council, it must receive the approval of at least 9 out of 15 members, and no veto from any of the 5 permanent members – the United States, China, Russia, the United Kingdom, and France . If the resolution on Palestinian accession as a full member state passed the UN Security Council, it was supposed to go to the UN General Assembly and come into force with the approval of two-thirds of the 193 member states .
The Palestinian Authority applied to become a full member of the United Nations in 2011, but failed to join because the Security Council’s own vote was canceled due to opposition from the United States during the document review process. The following year, the autonomous government asked the UN General Assembly to be upgraded from an observer organization to an observer state, and received its current status after a vote.
Unlike the approval of observer states, the recognition of regular members must go through the Security Council, so the general view was that tied votes would be difficult. US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said at a briefing on the 3rd that he supported the establishment of an independent Palestinian state, but said it should be achieved through dialogue between the parties, not the United Nations, and indicated that he would vote in against him. in consideration of his ally Israel.
