UN-ISRAEL-PALESTINIANS-CONFLICT-VOTE
This United Nations photo shows the UN Security Council during a meeting to adopt a resolution on Palestinian statehood on December 30, 2014 in New York. The UN Security Council failed Tuesday to adopt a resolution on Palestinian statehood that was strongly opposed by the United States. China, France and Russia were among the eight countries that voted in favor of the text, but the resolution fell short of winning the nine "yes" votes necessary for adoption in the 15-member council. Australia and the United States voted against, and five other countries abstained, including Britain. The resolution drafted by the Palestinians and backed by Arab countries would have paved the way to a Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital. It set a 12-month deadline for Israel to reach a final peace deal with the Palestinians and called for a full Israeli withdrawal from the Palestinian territories by the end of 2017.
