admin The United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday passed a resolution urging an end to the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state. The resolution also called for an international conference in June 2025 to further progress the two-state solution.
The UN General Assembly resolution shows a big push for a peaceful two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Key points:
Big Majority with Some Opposition: 157 in favor, 8 against, 7 abstentions. Opposition from Israel, US, Hungary and Argentina. Big divisions on this issue.
Two-State Solution: Israel and Palestine living side by side in internationally recognized borders based on 1967 lines, a long standing but contested formula for peace.
The US vote against the recognition of the Palestinian state underscore the hardline rhetorics of Donald Trump the 47th US president who recently issued an ultimatum for the hostages to be released or face harsher consequences.
Negotiations: The resolution calls for collective work on final status issues: borders, refugees, Jerusalem.
International Conference in 2025: A high level conference co-chaired by France and Saudi Arabia to bring all stakeholders together to move the peace process.
Immediate Actions: Until the conference, the resolution asks for compliance with international law, for Israel to stop settlement activities and withdraw settlers from Palestinian territories.
This shows the UN role in multilateral solutions to complex international conflicts. But achieving concrete results will require navigating the deep political and historical divides.
