Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas says that the United Nations General Assembly’s backing of a Palestinian bid to become a full UN member supports Palestinian efforts for another vote on the issue by the UN Security Council.

“Palestine will continue its endeavor to obtain full membership in the UN,” Abbas added in a statement on Friday.
