28. I don't understand what you are missing here
Right - there is a distinction: the UN can grant membership, but not recognition. That can only come from member states.

By granting membership, though, the UN is, in granting de facto recognition.

Thus, as far as the UN goes, they are one in the same.

The UN itself does not official recognize states as is evidenced from the links provided.

What the Palestinians are asking for from the UN is only able to be granted them via the Security Council - and it is membership in the UN.
