PA Application for "Full UN Membership" Submitted

Considering the vast array of information coming in from the UN, the following key point hasn't been made obvious. That point being when the actual UNSC vote would take place:

Abbas officially submits Paleatinian application for full UN membership

The UN Security Council will take up the Palestinian bid for full statehood and UN membership on Monday. This is an unusually fast development compared to the normal tempo of the United Nations.

Council president Nawaf Salam of Lebanon told reporters on Friday that the 15-member council would begin discussions at 1900 GMT Monday to take up the application submitted earlier Friday by Abbas to the UN Secretary General. Ban passed the document hours later to the council, whose approval is needed for UN membership and full recognition of statehood.

He added that the Palestinian do not expect the Security Council vote to take place next week, saying that this is a process that would take a few weeks, but "not longer."

So there we have it: "A few weeks, but not longer" - presumably when deliberations will take place - followed by a formal vote.

Stay tuned - this situation is far from over.
