The spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Nasser Kanaani, said that the overwhelming majority vote for Palestine's full membership at the United Nations reflects the isolation of the Israeli occupation and the United States in the international community. 

In a post on X, Kanaani stated that "the US' full support for the Zionists' crimes in Gaza comes amid an unprecedented, increased, and firm rejection of the occupation and forced displacement, and in support of Palestinians in the Strip."

He noted that as "the Israeli occupation is more isolated than ever in history, only the US is still blindly supporting this criminal entity."

حمایت‌های پیدا و پنهان مقامات آمریکا از اقدامات جنایتکارانه صهیونیست‌ها در غزه، در شرایطی است که #اجماع_بین‌المللی بیش از هر زمان دیگری در حمایت از مظلومیت مردم #فلسطین شکل گرفته و یکصدا نفرت از ارتکاب #نسل_کشی، #کوچ_اجباری، #اشغالگری و #کودک_کشی صهیونیست‌ها را فریاد می‌زنند.…

— Nasser Kanaani (@IRIMFA_SPOX) May 11, 2024

This came after the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) passed a resolution awarding Palestine full-membership status, within the agency itself, delegating the matter to the UNSC on Friday.

Although the vote is considered to be symbolic, it is a necessary step for the full recognition of Palestine as a member state in all UN agencies. Such a decision would need to be passed through the UN Security Council (UNSC). 

The draft resolution was originally introduced by the United Arab Emirates, following a UNSC vote on April 18 that blocked a similar proposal. 

"The State of Palestine is qualified for membership in the United Nations in accordance with article 4 of the Charter and should therefore be admitted," the draft read. 

It also called on the Security Council to "reconsider the matter favorably."

The proposal garnered the support of 143 member states, while 25 abstained and another nine voted against the text. However, the proposal successfully passed the two-thirds yes-vote requirement.
