This won't succeed because of the U.S. being on the Security Council, but this the best the rest of the world can do, I suppose.
It's worth noting that the UN has recognized the right of Palestinian self-determination since the 1970s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_General_Assembly_Resolution_3236
