The resolution would have made Palestine
the 194th member of the United Nations. .
Deputy Ambassador Robert Wood stressed to the
Security Council that the U.S. veto of the resolution... .
... “does not reflect opposition to Palestinian statehood
but instead is an acknowledgment that it will only
come from direct negotiations between the parties.”.
Similarly, deputy State Department
spokesman Vedant Patel said that the U.S. has...
... “been very clear consistently that premature actions
in New York — even with the best intentions — will
not achieve statehood for the Palestinian people.”.
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

Amid rising tensions in the West Asia region, Iran has conveyed a message to the US through Switzerland, cautioning that its bases could become targets if Washington supports Israel's retaliatory actions. President Joe Biden, on Saturday, praised American forces for their assistance in intercepting "nearly all" of the drones and missiles launched by Iran, pledging to coordinate an international response to Tehran's unprecedented attack. The Pentagon confirmed that its forces intercepted "dozens of missiles" and drones launched from various locations including Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Yemen, aimed at Israel.
