In Arab affairs, Al-Watan said that the UNGA resolution supporting Palestine’s request for full membership in the United Nations has received broad Arab welcome, amidst calls for the Security Council and the United States to respond to it. This step aims to grant Palestine full membership in the United Nations, enhancing its position within the international system, enabling the Palestinian people to exercise their legitimate rights, and paving the way for a just, comprehensive, and su
stainable solution to the Palestinian issue, the newspaper explained.
Al-Watan stressed that the General Assembly’s resolution reflects international consensus on the necessity of granting the Palestinian people their legitimate rights. It is an important initial step that should be followed by a more crucial one, which is granting Palestine full membership in the United Nations, the newspaper said, adding that such a step is the fundamental condition for future engagement in a peaceful process for the establishment of an independent Palestinian state within the framework of the two-state solution, based on the borders of 1967, with its capital in East Jerusalem.
The newspaper concluded by calling on the Security Council to bear its historic responsibility and not to oppose international consensus or stand in the way of the moral and legal right of the Palestinian people to achieve full statehood in the United Nations.
