Palestine president thanks Security Council members voting for Palestine's UN membership

President Mahmoud Abbas has commended the member states of the United Nations Security Council who voted in favour of granting Palestine full UN membership.

The US vetoed a Security Council resolution that recommended granting the State of Palestine full membership in the United Nations on Thursday.

In an interview with Wafa news agency, he reiterated Palestine's determination to continue trying to obtain membership, saying that it will go to the General Assembly and the Security Council until it is achieved.
