Palestin Kini Berstatus Negara Di PBB - 138 Sokong , 9 Bantah , 41 Tidak Mengundi

Dengan 138 negara menyokong dan hanya 9 negara membantah, Palestin kini maju setapak lagi untuk menjadi negara berdaulat setelah ia diluluskan menjadi 'negara pemerhati' di dalam PBB. 41 buah negara lagi enggan mengundi.

9 negara keras kepala yang menentang ialah Amerika Syarikat, Canada, Israel, Palau, Marshall Island, Nauru, Micronesia, Republik Czech dan Panama.

41 negara yang enggan mengundi pula ialah Albania, Andorra, Australia, Barbados, Belanda, Bosnia Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Cameroon, Colombia, Croatia, Congo, Estonia, Fiji, Germany, Guatemala, Haiti, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malawi, Monaco, Mongolia, Montenegro, Papua New Guinea, Paraguay, Korea Selatan, Moldova, Romania, Rwanda, Samoa, San marino, Singapura, Slovakia, Slovenia, Macedonia, Togo, Tonga, United Kingdom dan Vanuatu.

Satu-satunya negara yang tidak mahu mengundi di Asia Tenggara ialah SINGAPURA dan amat menarik sekali, sebuah negara yang pernah berkrisis dengan umat Islam satu masa lalu turut menyokong kehadiran Palestin ke dalam PBB iaitu SERBIA.

Namun perlu diingat, Palestin yang diperkatakan ini hanya tertumpu kepada Tebing Barat kerana Amerika Syarikat sedang berusaha mencantumkan Gaza ke dalam Mesir.

Palestinians Win Statehood Status at U.N. Over U.S. Objections

The U.N. General Assembly voted today to approve Palestinians' request to be upgraded to a "non-member observer state," defying opposition by the U.S. and Israel.

Before the vote, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas told the General Assembly that it "is being asked today to issue the birth certificate of Palestine."

Of the 193 countries in the General Assembly 138 voted to recognize Palestine, nine voted against and 41 abstained.

The historic vote recognizes Palestine as a state and gives Palestine the right to join U.N. agencies. It opens the door for Palestine to become a party to the International Criminal Court, allowing them to bring cases against Israel.

Israel and the U.S. argued that the vote is purely symbolic, would change nothing on the ground, would hurt peace talks and could affect U.S. funding.
