A Palestinian State is Recognized

This week, the United Nations voted on a resolution to recognize the Palestinian State.  The majority of the vote passed despite Israeli and American criticism. Palestine was recognized as a non-member observer state that day, with Palestinians, causing mass celebration in Palestinian cities. Although, Israel still owns many of the territories that Palestine would like to have, Palestine now has a higher possibility of claiming them. I believe Israel will most likely deny Palestine access to the territories they wish to own. My prediction is that the new state upgrade for Palestine may possibly further ruin the peace between the two states and cause even further troubles for Israel.  I think that Israel will deny the existence of the Palestinian state while Palestine will try to further press the amount of territories they should own. Perhaps the recent Palestinian victory will cause their leader to feel slightly more confident and aggressive in pursuing those territories.
