The resolution would have made Palestine

Deputy Ambassador Robert Wood stressed to the
Security Council that the U.S. veto of the resolution... .
... โdoes not reflect opposition to Palestinian statehood
but instead is an acknowledgment that it will only
come from direct negotiations between the parties.โ.
Similarly, deputy State Department
spokesman Vedant Patel said that the U.S. has...
... โbeen very clear consistently that premature actions
in New York โ even with the best intentions โ will
not achieve statehood for the Palestinian people.โ.
In response to the failed vote, Palestinian U.N.
Ambassador Riyad Mansour told the council that
the decision would not deter the Palestinian people.
The fact that this resolution did not
pass will not break our will and it
will not defeat our determination, Riyad Mansour, Palestinian U.N. Ambassador, via Associated Press.
We will not stop in our effort.
The state of Palestine is inevitable.
It is real. Perhaps they see it as
far away, but we see it as near, Riyad Mansour, Palestinian U.N. Ambassador, via Associated Press
