This states that "in cases where the Security Council fails in its duty to maintain world peace because of differences among the five permanent members, the matter at hand can be referred directly to the General Assembly."
In the current U.N. climate, a vote in the General Assembly would likely favor Palestine, similarly to the resolution granting Palestine observer status.
Part 3 -- Rebuttal -- in its most basic form, the State of Israel owes its existence to a group of Zionists who used the events of World War II to establish a religiously oriented homeland. This view overlooked the fact that Arab Muslims had occupied the land for centuries and used British imperialism as an excuse to reoccupy Arab lands. Once Israel formed its statehood, it became part of the global Cold War and found legitimacy and support from the United States, who wanted and needed an ally in the region to counter Soviet presence in Egypt and other Arab lands. In fact, UN General Assembly Resolution 181 orders that independent Arab and Jewish States shall both come into existence in Palestine, lending the view that Palestine has a rightful claim to the area. Many Palestinians view conflict with Israel as legitimate if focused on violent resistance against Israeli military occupation as opposed to acts against Israeli citizens (non-combatants). Palestine also points out that Israel uses its technology and arrangements with the United States to keep Palestine poor and disenfranchised by controlling the socio-political and economic strings of the region.
Prime Minister Abbas of Palestine noted that the window of opportunity is narrowing for Palestinian-Israeli peace due to the racist and colonial occupation of Palestinian lands. Abbas further noted that they do not wish to delegitimize Israel, but to legitimize Palestine. In general, Abbas views global society in the 21st century as needing Palestine as a legitimate state in the area; only through recognizing Palestine can the world change the paradigm in effect since 1948.
In fact, the U.N. fact finding mission to Palestine, released in January 2013, may have broader consequences for Abbas' viewpoint. While the report does not recommend international legal action, the findings may very well represent a basis for a case against Israel in the International Criminal Court, which is now open to Palestine with its new status.
Mr. Davutoglu of Turkey echoed this plea for sanity...

Palestine How would you feel if someone came in your home, took over and kicked you out? Surely, no one would like that feeling. Worse than that, that certain someone found it morally acceptable to be doing such an act and everyone was supporting him. The aforementioned scenario is the simplest version of the state that Palestinians are in today. Their situation is present on a larger and much more gruesome
In fact the UAE held bilateral negations with officials from Iran in September of 1992. During this meeting the following request were made concerning Iran's occupation of the Islands. 1. The UAE wanted Iran to end the military occupation of both of the Tunbs Islands ("Assertion of the UAE"). 2.

Why the UAE Established Relations with IsraelIntroductionThe conflict between the UAE and Israel has been going on for very long. The new Abraham Accords mark a turning point in the relationship between Israel and the Arab world. The UAE wants warmer relations with Israel, and Israel has shown that it wants the same. The Abraham Accords have set the stage for an environment of mutual respect and beneficence. The two
UAE The United Arab Emirates The United Arab Emirates is a country created for two purposes; the first is to provide a strong federal-based government in order to protect the traditions and uniqueness of the six different Emirates, while pooling resources in order to protect the territory and profits of the nation.

Palestine under Occupation: Reaching the ‘Other’ through Bearing Witness and Citizen Journalism Introduction The conflict in Palestine is largely portrayed in the mainstream media as a complex issue (Chomsky & Pappe, 2015). A theoretical reason for this portrayal of the conflict is rooted in what Robinson (2002) has described as the ‘CNN effect’—the special relationship that exists between the state and the media, which facilitates the construction of a narrative that supports
