The United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) reconvenes in New York City on Monday, May 13, to continue deliberations on Palestinian membership.
Last Friday, the UNGA voted overwhelmingly in favor of backing a Palestinian bid for full membership and urged the UN Security Council (UNSC) to 'reconsider'.
Last month, the US vetoed a resolution at the UNSC.
If passed, the move would have effectively recognised a Palestinian state. Palestine has held observer status at the world body since 2012.
