In a significant vote held at the United Nations General
Assembly on Wednesday, September 18, 2024, a resolution demanding an end to
Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories passed with 124 votes in favor,
14 against, and 43 countries abstaining. This resolution, though non-binding,
reflects a renewed global focus on the Israel-Palestine conflict amidst ongoing
tensions in the region.
The resolution entitled "Illegal Israeli actions in Occupied East Jerusalem and
the rest of the Occupied Palestinian Territory" reaffirms the international
community's call for Israel to end its occupation of Palestinian territories,
including East Jerusalem, and halt the expansion of settlements. It emphasizes
the need for a two-state solution and urges all parties to adhere to
international humanitarian and human rights laws. The document further calls on
member states to refrain from supporting actions that hinder the peace process.
