The United Nations Security Council has rejected a draft resolution recommending full Palestinian membership of the global body due to a veto by the United States.
                
The 15 council members took a vote on Thursday. Twelve countries, including Japan and France, voted in favor of the resolution, while Britain and Switzerland abstained.
                
Algeria submitted the draft representing Arab nations&#039; backing for the Palestinians amid the ongoing conflict in the Gaza Strip.
                
The resolution calls for full membership for the Palestinians, saying a two-state solution in which Israel coexists with a future Palestinian state should be sought.
The Palestinians currently have non-member observer status.
                
For granting membership, the Security Council needs to approve a motion, and two-thirds or more of the general assembly must vote in favor.
                
Japan&#039;s Special Envoy for the Middle East Peace, Uemura Tsukasa, said Japan voted in favor in consideration of the severe situation in Gaza. He said his country&#039;s stance is to promote the establishment of a Palestinian state through peaceful negotiations between the parties.
                
US Deputy Ambassador to the UN Robert Wood explained why the US vetoed the move. He said, &quot;Hamas, a terrorist organization, is currently exerting power and influence in Gaza -- an integral part of the state envisioned in this resolution.&quot; He stressed the necessity of direct negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians.
