The US has blocked the U.N Security Council vote on a bid by the Palestinian Authority to become a full member state.

In order to be successful a council resolution needs at least nine votes in favour and no vetoes by the permanent five members. The move from the US comes despite the Biden administration's pledge to fully support a two-state solution.

Guest: Ghaith Al-Omari, former Palestinian negotiator, Senior Fellow at the Washington Institute
