Slovenia, alongside France and Malta, will back Palestine's United Nations membership in the upcoming vote next week, as reported by the Slovenian Press Agency (STA), quoting State Secretary for International Affairs Vojko Volk.

Earlier on Thursday, members of the UN Security Council failed to reach a consensus on a bid by Palestine for full UN membership.

Palestine, which has had observer status at the world body since 2012, has lobbied for years to gain full membership, which would amount to recognition of Palestinian statehood. Any request to become a UN member state must first pass through the Security Council, where "Israel's" ally the United States wields a veto, and then be endorsed by the General Assembly.

In late March, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez announced that the Spanish government had reached an agreement with the authorities of Ireland, Slovenia, and Malta to initiate the process of recognizing the State of Palestine as a means to advance the peace process.

Nine EU member states currently recognize the State of Palestine: Bulgaria, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Romania, and Slovakia made this decision in 1988, before joining the EU, while Sweden recognized the State of Palestine in 2014.
