This draft resolution needs at least nine positive votes from the members of the UN Security Council to be approved, while none of the five veto-wielding countries of the United States, Britain, France, Russia and China should oppose it.

Algeria, which as one of the periodic members of the Security Council, prepared the draft of this resolution, requested that the vote on it be held today, Thursday, at the same time as the Security Council meeting on the Middle East, in which the ministers of the countries are also present.
America has emphasized that the establishment of an independent Palestinian state should be done through direct negotiations between the parties and not in the United Nations.
Linda Thomas-Greenfield, the United States ambassador to the United Nations, also said on Wednesday (April 17): "We do not believe that the adoption of a resolution in the Security Council can necessarily bring us to a place where we can implement a two-state solution."
