U.N. Recognizes Statehood of Palestine

Over 100 countries have recognized the State of Palestine although both the United States and Israel are countering Palestine's recognition as "misguided." A peace treaty is only possible; however, when two geo-political bodies are recognized as statehood entities. Today, the United Nations is set to "implicitly" recognize Palestine where it will be a Statehood, but not a member of the United Nations.

Every significant affair in which Israel finds itself in, it can always count on the U.S. even if the vast majority of the international theater lands in disagreement. Palestine and Israel leadership have seen blood for well over half a century. The world is tired of the cries echoing from both territories and wishes to see a formal peace treaty because it will legally stand internationally as an agreement where if either country "declares war" against the other, allies may jump. To not recognize Palestine as a State would provide the ideal environment to delay a peace treaty and continue conflict in the region.

The issue with Palestine not being recognized as a member of the United Nations puts Palestinians into a precarious situation. Let us say that Israel and Palestine continue in armed conflict. If the United Nations sends NATO troops to either one of them, you can bet that they will support Israel as Israel has been a member of the U.N. almost as long as the U.S. has and where Palestine has yet to attain membership.
