The international community has debated Palestinian statehood for decades.
Full membership at the United Nations would effectively recognise that. Sweeping support at the General Assembly is the first step, but the final seal of approval comes from the UN Security Council.
Last month, the United States vetoed a resolution tabled by Algeria -- and says it will do so again.

Presenter: Neave Barker
Guests: Jeffrey Sachs -- Former UN Adviser
Mustafa Barghouti -- General Secretary, Palestinian National Initiative
Yossi Mekelberg -- Associate Fellow, Chatham House
