For the first time since Egypt voted for the creation of the state of Israel in 1948, the Arab state has voted in Israel’s favor at the United Nations, this time to support Israel’s bid for membership of the UN Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space Affairs (COPUOS). The bid passed, admitting Israel to the committee, which governs the exploration and use of space for peace, security and development.
One hundred and seventeen UN member states voted in Israel’s favor, 21 countries abstained, including many Arab states, and only one country – Namibia – voted against.
Qatar, Iraq, Tunisia, Syria, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Kuwait, and Algeria were among the Arab nations who abstained from the vote, despite the fact that some of them benefitted by its passing.
