Supporters of the Palestinians' request for full membership in the United Nations have once again approached the U.N. Security Council to revive their application for admission, originally submitted in 2011. However, the United States is anticipated to block the move, as it did previously.
The letter submitted to the council president by the supporters included the endorsement of 140 countries that have recognized a Palestinian state. These countries comprise members of the Arab Group, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, and the Nonaligned Movement.
