Oman regrets Security Council failure to grant Palestine UN membership

The Foreign Ministry of Foreign has expressed its regret at the failure of the Security Council to pass a resolution granting Palestine its rightful membership of the United Nations.

The Ministry described it as a move that clearly contradicts the international consensus on granting the Palestinian people their right to self-determination and hinders efforts to establish and promote justice and peace worldwide.

In an official statement, the Ministry made clear that the Sultanate of Oman calls on all members of the Security Council to give full and fair attention to the Palestinian cause, and to apply fair standards to everyone without exception. This should include respecting international law and United Nations resolutions to ensure the establishment and sustainability of the principles of security, stability and peace both in the region and the world at large.
