"The Arab League will apply to upgrade the Palestinians to full member status at the United Nations, according to a draft statement from a league meeting in Qatar on Thursday.
"It was decided to go to the United Nations to request the recognition of the state of Palestine with East Jerusalem as its capital and to move ahead and request a full membership," said the communique, a copy of which was obtained by Reuters." Reuters

Yup, looks like "show time" at the UN. Behind the "curtain" the Israelis and their "friends" are pulling every string they can find to block this. If all else fails they may stage some diversion to derail the train. Alternatively, they will order Obama to veto the UNSC resolution even though they may not be able to block
GA action.
Will full UN recognition of Palestine as a sovereign state make any difference? I think it will because Israel and its leaders could then be subject to legal action before the ICC for aggression against a member state of the UN. Indictments pursued with Interpol action would be likely. pl
