The United Nations General Assembly voted in favor of Palestinian statehood. The resolution upgraded the Palestinians' status to a “non-member observer state” and was approved by a more than two-thirds majority of the 193-member general assembly with a vote of 138-9, with 41 abstaining. U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice said the vote places “further obstacles in the path of peace.” Israel and the United states were against the resolution because they said it conflicts with peace deal negotiations.
