Iran has hailed the international community’s support for Palestine’s UN membership bid, saying the move indicates that the Israeli regime is more isolation than ever throughout its fake history.
Nasser Kan’ani made the remark in a post on X on Saturday, a day after the United Nations General Assembly overwhelmingly passed a resolution during an emergency session of the assembly, urging the Security Council to reconsider Palestine’s request to become a full UN member.
“The Zionist regime is living in a situation in which it is more isolated than ever throughout its fake history. The American authorities have been left alone in blindly supporting it even among their own people,” Kan’ani said.
“The decisive vote of the international community in support of Palestine’s full membership in the United Nations clearly shows the isolation of the Zionist regime and the US in the international community,” he added.
Kan’ani went on to say that the US officials’ overt and covert support for Israeli crimes in the Gaza Strip “comes at a time when an international consensus has been formed more than ever before in support of the oppressed Palestinian people.”
The international community has raised its voice against the genocide, forced displacement, occupation and child-killing by the Israeli regime, he added.
On Friday, the UN General Assembly endorsed a resolution, spearheaded by the United Arab Emirates (on behalf of the Arab Group), calling for the reconsideration of Palestine’s UN membership bid.
A total of 143 countries voted in favor of upgrading Palestine’s status at the world body, while nine voted against and 25 abstained.
The resolution also granted new “rights and privileges” to Palestine, thus recognizing it as qualified to join the UN as a full member.
The United States, the Israeli regime’s biggest ally, has so far blocked Palestinians’ every attempt at being recognized as a full member by casting its veto against relevant resolutions.
Palestine is currently a UN non-member observer state, a status that was granted to it in 2012. An application to become a full UN member needs to be approved by the Council and then at least two-thirds of the General Assembly.
