The assembly in the resolution adopted a document developed in July by France and Saudi Arabia known as “New York Declaration”.
The signatories of the signatories expressed in it “unwavering support for the implementation of a two -state solution, in accordance with international law and UN resolutions, according to which two democratic and sovereign states, Palestine and Israel, will live next to each other in peace and security.”
The declaration called, among others until the immediate end of the war in the Gaza Strip, including the release of Israeli hostages, as well as the creation of a Palestinian state on the basis of the reformed and demilitarized Palestinian autonomy. The Gaza Strep would become part of this country.
The document emphasizes opposition to unilateral actions breaking international law, including illegal Jewish settlement, forced resettlement or annexation.
The adopted text also condemns the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023 and it was noted that this organization must submit a weapon and renounce power over the Gaza Strip.
142 countries in favor of these demands, there were 10, including Israel and the USA, 12 did not participate in voting.
Comments from the world. Israel with a “circus”
The declaration is to be the basis of Saudi, organized by France and Saudi Arabia, on September 22 at the UN in New York. France announced that during this event it will formally recognize Palestine's statehood. Similar declarations were made by the authorities, including Great Britain, Canada and Australia.
French President Emmanuel Macron was satisfied with the result of voting, describing it as “an irreversible step towards the room.”
According to the spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Israel Oren Marmorystjn, the acceptance of the document “once again proved that the UN is a political circus detached from reality.” The spokesman alleged that the declaration did not specify Hamas as a terrorist organization. There is also no mention that Hamas is solely responsible for the continuation of the war, because it refuses to release the kidnapped and donate weapons – added Marmorysztjn.
The American Department of State was to convey to its diplomats that the French-Saudi initiative undermines American interests, offends the victims of Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023 and rewards terrorism-wrote on Friday the Times of Israel portal, citing the content of the internal message of the ministry.
Palestinian state?
The current Israeli government is opposed to the creation of the Palestinian state, which this nation would like to create in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank of Jordan and Eastern Jerusalem – lands captured by Israel in the war of 1967.
The west shore remains under Israeli occupation, but is co -minor by Palestinian autonomy. Eastern Jerusalem was annexed by Israel, which most of the worlds did not recognize. In the Gaza Zone for nearly two years, the war of Israel has been going on against Hamas who ruled this territory.
The issue of the creation of the Palestinian state is complicated by the presence of over half a million Jewish settlers on the West Bank inhabited by about 3 million Palestinians.
In Israel, right -wing politicians call for annexing the West Bank or a significant part of it, arguing, among others historical reasons and security reasons.
