UN General Assembly ADOPTS resolution demanding that Israel “brings to an end without delay its unlawful presence” in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, and do so within 12 months
Voting result
In favor: 124
Against: 14
Abstain: 43
The United Nations General Assembly voted 124-14 on Wednesday to deny Israel the right to self-defense in the West Bank, Gaza, and east Jerusalem.
The resolution’s test was based on the International Court of Justice’s advisory opinion judgment in July, which determined that Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory was illegal.
Prior to the voting, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres stated that he backed the ICJ option and will follow the vote, which requires the IDF to retreat to pre-1967 lines within 12 months.
The resolution also urges member states not to sell weaponry or military equipment to Israel for use in Gaza, the West Bank, and east Jerusalem.
The text makes no reference of Hamas, the October 7 attack of Israel, or the remaining 101 hostages in Gaza.
It imposes no obligations on Hamas or the Palestinians in terms of attacks on Israel.
Argentina, Czech Republic, Fiji, Hungary, Israel, Malawi, Micronesia, Nauru, Palau, Papa New Guinea, Paraguay, Tonga, Tuvalu, and the United States all voted against the resolution.
