Palestinian Territory

Lose Lose

Palestine Authority and Israeli officials have meet with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and other Heads of States to try lobby what should become of the Palestine region in Israel. It has become quite clear that neither side will budge in negotiation talks and the Security Council will hear the case in the coming weeks. The Palestine Authority wishes to receive a non-state bid for representation in the United Nations (U.N.). Nine out of fifteen votes are to allow for membership and the United States, one of the five countries with veto power, has stated it will use it in the hearing.

The hearing will cause repercussions regardless of how it plays out. If the Palestine Authority is not allowed membership in the United Nations violence from the region would be catastrophic. In an already volatile region of the Middle East, Israel would not give up a part of their country just to appease the Islamic World. If the Palestine Authority is allowed membership into the United Nations it could eventually apply for an observer nation status which would give it the title of a State. If this is allowed to happen Israel would suffer a humiliating defeat in the Middle East and would be seen as vulnerable.
