国連、パレスチナの「国家」格上げを採択
国連総会は11月29日、パレスチナの国連での資格をこれまでの「オブザーバー機構」から「オブザーバー国家」に格上げする決議案を賛成多数で採択した。
U.N. recognizes Palestinian state
The United Nations voted overwhelmingly Nov. 29 to recognize a Palestinian state, a victory decades in the making for the Palestinians after years of occupation and war. It was a sharp rebuke for Israel and the United States.
In an extraordinary lineup of international support, more than two-thirds of the world body's 193 member states approved the resolution upgrading the Palestinians to a nonmember observer state. It passed 138-9, with 41 abstentions.
The historic vote came 65 years to the day after the U.N. General Assembly voted in 1947 to divide Palestine into two states, one for Jews and one for Arabs. Israel became a state, but the Palestinians rejected the partition plan — and decades of tension and violence have followed.
Real independence, however, remains an elusive dream until the Palestinians negotiate a peace deal with the Israelis, who warned that the General Assembly action will only delay a lasting solution. (AP)
