Germany fails to secure UN Security Council seat

Germany failed to win a nonpermanent seat on the UN Security Council on Wednesday, a rare diplomatic setback widely attributed to international backlash over Berlin’s staunch support for Israel.
Germany was outpolled by rivals Portugal and Austria in the first round of voting at the UN General Assembly, missing out on one of the two seats reserved for the Western Europe and Others Group for the 2027-2028 term.

During the ballot, Germany mustered only 104 votes – well short of the two-thirds threshold of 127 required to win – while Portugal topped the ballot with 134 and Austria followed with 131. Germany has failed for the first time in its bid for a seat on the most powerful UN body.
