| Title |
Palestine to be admitted into UNESCO
| |
| Summary |
Palestine is to be admitted as a member of UNESCO after 107 delegates voted to approve the State. Palestine is striving to become a full member of the United Nations. The United States and Israel are opponents of Palestine joining the United Nations.
| |
| Analysis |
The States of Israel and Palestine are experiencing conflict over border recognition. The United States was an early supporter of Israel. The United States has openly stated that it does not wish to permit Palestine to become a member of the United Nations. The support offered by the United States for UNESCO may be lost when Palestine is officially admitted. Relations between the United States and the other members of UNESCO may become strained as a result.
