Obama's Policy on Palestine's UN Membership

The main question of the article is: What’s Obama administration's policy on Palestine's membership in the United Nation? According to neoidealist theory, results show that Obama has declared his support for establishing a Palestinian sovereign state in the territories of pre-1967 Arab-Israeli war and tried many times to bring them back to the negotiations table. Nevertheless, he couldn’t accomplish. Meanwhile, Obama has asserted he will veto any efforts by Palestinians to be a member of the United Nations Organization stressing that the recognition should be attained by negotiations. It means, at first, the subject of borders and capital of Palestine should be resolved and then, legal matters and international process to be discussed. Inductive and analytical methods were used in this study.
