US promises to squash Palestinian membership push at UN following vote
Fox News
The U.S. has avoided having to decide if it will pull funding from the U.N. and the its specialized agencies, which it would have had to do under public law passed in the 1990s.
"This resolution does not resolve the concerns about the Palestinian membership application raised in April in the Security Council through the admissions committee process," Wood added. "Should the Security Council take up the Palestinian membership application as a result of this resolution, there will be a similar outcome."

The vote, brought to the floor by the United Arab Emirates, received support from 143 members, with nine voting against and 25 abstaining.
