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

In a brazen display of aggression, gangs in Haiti initiated a significant offensive in the heart of Port-au-Prince, setting ablaze homes and engaging in fierce confrontations with law enforcement that lasted for hours. The harrowing scenes prompted hundreds of residents to flee the violence, marking one of the most severe outbreaks since the instalment of a new prime minister. These alarming attacks underscore the deep-rooted concerns surrounding the pervasive influence of gangs and cast doubt on the government's capacity to swiftly restore order and stability. The unsettling events have reignited fears and doubts regarding Haiti's ability to break free from the grip of violence and turmoil that has plagued the nation for years.
