Either way, it shouldn't be passed because palestine doesn't fit all the criteria for a member state.  One of the main criteria is having set borders... which Palestine doesn't have.  Some are trying to use the 1967 borders, however those borders weren't established in a peace treaty, but instead in a cease fire, that has been broken a couple times since then and a cease fire isn't a legally binding agreement of permanent borders, but just a temporary set of battlelines until the establishment of a peace treaty.

The same logic would imply that Israel shouldn't be member state, as all of palestine's borders that aren't definitely set are borders to israel.

Except it does have already established borders and did before the 1967 peacetreaty, due to original agreement with the UN plan coupled with their decleration of independence.

There borders have expanded since then in disrupted territory, but that's neither here nor there when it comes to UN member rules.

Their problem was with the rejection of the UN partitian plan by Palestine.
