Today is a sad day: China responds to US vetoing Palestine UN membership

‘Today is a sad day’: China responds to US vetoing Palestine UN membership “The application by Palestine for full membership at the UN has been rejected, and the decades-long dream of the Palestinian people ruthlessly dashed,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said. On Thursday, the United States thwarted the UN Security Council’s advancement of a Palestinian proposal seeking full member state recognition at the United Nations, halting attempts by Palestinian supporters to garner global backing for the initiative. The resolution received 12 affirmative votes, with the United States dissenting, while Britain and Switzerland abstained. Source: RT News
