Palestinian UN bid moves step further in UN Security Council SHARE
UN Security Council's membership committee said Tuesday a report of its discussion on the Palestinian application for membership would be ready next month.

The committee will discuss in coming weeks the two other criteria, which call for a determination that it is a peaceful country making the application and that the country can fulfill obligations under the United Nations Charter, which is the world organization's constitution.
