An historic resolution that enhanced the Palestinians' position at the UN from "permanent observer" to "non-member observer state", a status also held by the Vatican, passed the General Assembly by a resounding 138 votes to 9, with 41 countries abstaining, including Britain.
Five nations did not register a vote. The no votes were US, Israel, Canada, Czech Republic, Palau, Panama, Nauru, Mirconesia and Marshall Islands.
The United States and Israel immediately condemned the vote, which US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called "counterproductive."
The Palestinian Authority's Foreign Minister, Riyad al-Maliki, said that his administration's decision whether to report Israel to the International Criminal Court, one of the international agencies to which the new non-member state now has access, lies in their hands.
"I hope that they will understand that the formula has changed, the reality has changed and we are not really threatening right now to go immediately to anywhere," said Mr al-Maliki.
"We will give them time for them to comprehend, to re-correct their policies and their actions and if they behave in the way, according to international law, then we don't see ourselves in need to go to anywhere."
