New York (CNN)[Breaking news update, posted at 1:48 p.m. ET]
The Palestinian flag was raised outside the headquarters of the United Nations in New York for the first time Wednesday afternoon, a watershed moment that won support on many fronts but drew condemnation from Israel and the United States.
Under cloudy skies, the historic and politically sensitive moment occurred at 1:16 p.m. at the U.N.'s Rose Garden. U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon called the occasion a "day of pride for the Palestinian people" and a "day of hope."

It is a watershed moment that has won support on many fronts, but drawn condemnation from Israel and the United States.
Under cloudy skies, the historic raising of the Palestinian flag was to take place Wednesday afternoon outside the headquarters of the United Nations in Manhattan.
The Rose Garden of the U.N. will be the site of the politically sensitive ceremony. The Palestinian flag will for the first time ascend a pole, joining more than 190 others outside the building.
Traditionally, only official member states had the right to have their flag up in front of the U.N. tower; the Palestinian Authority has nonmember observer status.
But the General Assembly earlier this month voted overwhelmingly to allow the Palestinians and the Vatican, another nonmember observer, to add theirs to the collection.
The Palestinians see this as another step toward solidifying their presence in the international arena.
But Israel, one of the eight countries that voted against the measure, has dismissed the Palestinian flag-raising as a photo op. The Vatican's flag went up Friday without ceremony.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon Wednesday congratulated Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas, who addressed the U.N. General Assembly before the 1 p.m. flag ceremony, and stressed that "a political horizon must be restored without further delay for a resumption of peace negotiations towards a two-state solution," according to a statement.
The two leaders also discussed recent clashes in occupied West Bank, especially in the Old City of Jerusalem, and the need for both the Palestinians and Israelis to defuse tensions, the statement said.
During his speech to the United Nations General Assembly, Abbas accused Israel of not committing to the Oslo Accords and in response said, "They leave us no choice but to insist that we will not remain the only ones committed to the implementation of these agreements, while Israel continuously violates them."
Abbas declared Palestine "a state under occupation."
"We therefore declare that we cannot continue to be bound by these agreements and that Israel must assume all of its responsibilities as an occupying Power, because the status quo cannot continue," Abbas stated
The Oslo Accords are a series of peace agreements between Israel and the Palestinians signed in the 1990's.
Clashes between Arab youths and Israeli police have broken out in recent weeks at one of the holiest sites in the world for both Muslims and Jews. The confrontations at the al-Aqsa mosque complex in Jerusalem began hours before the start of the Jewish New Year.
The General Assembly adopted a resolution September 10 allowing what it officially recognizes as the "State of Palestine" to raise its national flags outside of U.N. headquarters and U.N. offices.
In a 119-8 vote, with 45 abstentions, the General Assembly approved a move allowing the two nonmember observer states to raise their flags following the flags of member states.
Vatican to officially refers to 'State of Palestine' in new treaty
The Palestinian Authority gained nonmember observer state status at the United Nations in November 2012.
Palestinians join International Criminal Court, permitting war crimes inquiries
Samantha Power, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, told the General Assembly before the vote that the United States is committed to achieving the peace between Palestinians and Israelis but "raising the Palestinian flag outside the U.N. Headquarters is not an alternative to negotiations and will not bring the parties closer to peace."
The United States voted against the resolution.
