The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation welcomed a United Nations General Assembly decision permitting Palestine to participate in proceedings of its 81st session through a recorded statement, Shehab Wire reported. The organization rejected the United States' position on the matter, though the report did not specify Washington's stance in detail.
The vote represents a procedural shift in Palestinian representation at the world body, allowing the delegation to submit remarks for the assembly record during the current session.
