    I do not see where the statement you quoted says Israel needs to agree for Palestine to become a UN member. It says that negotiations with Israel are necessary to resolve the key issues.

    And that’s a very valid point.

          If I’m reading it right, the OP meant something like this:

          The US block Palestinian membership on the condition of negotiations with Israel, but don’t impose the same restriction (negotiations eith Palestine) on Israel’s membership. Why does Israel get to be a member without negotiation, but Palestine doesn’t?

          (Not taking a stance here, argue with the OP if you want to. I’m just contributing my understanding.)
