The United States is actively opposing the Palestinian Authority's bid for full membership in the United Nations, citing that it would not advance the cause of statehood or lead to a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. US Ambassador to the UN, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, stated that a draft UN resolution supporting Palestine's full membership is unlikely to contribute to peace. Despite this stance, the Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has rejected the US's requests to delay the membership vote. Reports also indicate that the US is pressuring other nations to vote against the Palestinian bid to avoid having to use its veto power in the Security Council. The UN committee is currently deadlocked on this issue, and the Palestinian UN envoy has accused the US of 'holding us hostage' ahead of the membership vote.
