Below are links to compelling analysis from a variety of political viewpoints about the implications of the State of Palestine attaining UN membership and additional statehood recognition.
The US Campaign takes no position on this Palestinian diplomatic initiative. As a U.S.-based coalition, the US Campaign takes positions only on U.S. policy toward Palestine/Israel and believes that the United States should not oppose Palestinian efforts to
achieve full membership at the UN. Neither should it oppose
Palestinian efforts to have other countries recognize the State of
Palestine.
