The United Nations Security Council meets on the Palestinian request for full United Nations membership September 28, 2011 at UN headquarters in New York. The UN Security Council on Wednesday sent the Palestinian bid to join the United Nations to a specialist committee to report on the application. A full session of the 15-member council that lasted barely two minutes was the first public discussion of the application. The United States has vowed to veto any Palestinian bid.
