Palestinians watch a broadcast of President Mahmoud Abbas' speech in Gaza City on September 16, 2011 in which Abbas vowed to lodge a bid for U.N. membership.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas is expected to petition the United Nations Security Council this month for full U.N. membership -- but the U.S. has vowed to veto any such bid. How might the Palestinian bid affect the stalled Middle East peace process, and the domestic political landscape?
