Reference News website reported on May 27 that according to a report by Reuters on May 26, the Palestinian delegation won a symbolic victory in the World Health Organization's vote on May 26 and gained the right to hang its national flag at the World Health Organization. The Palestinian envoy hoped that this vote would gain more support for Palestine both inside and outside the United Nations.
The proposal put forward by China, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and other countries was passed with 95 votes in favor, 4 votes against (Israel, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Germany), and 27 abstentions.
Lebanese representative Rana Houri said that this voting result "gave the brave Palestinian people a ray of hope, whose suffering has reached an unbearable degree".
The Israeli ambassador to the United Nations, Daniel Meron, opposed the WHO resolution. The main Israeli ally, the United States, which plans to withdraw from the WHO, did not participate in the voting.
Although the State of Palestine has been recognized by nearly 150 countries, most Western countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Japan, have not recognized it.
France and Japan voted in favor in the WHO vote, and the United Kingdom abstained. (Translated by Pan Xiaoyan)
