Marc Lamont Hill discusses Palestinian statehood with Jeffrey Sachs ahead of the UN Security Council vote on membership.

The United Nations Security Council is scheduled to vote this Friday on the Palestinian Authority’s request for full UN membership, which if approved would de facto recognise Palestine as a state.
