UNGA passes resolution for establishment of Palestinian state
[GEO.TV] The UN General Assembly on Tuesday called on Israel to withdraw from the occupied Palestinian territories and pushed for the creation of a Palestinian state, convening an international conference in June to try to jumpstart a two-state solution.

In a resolution passed by a 157-8 vote, with the United States and Israel among those voting no, and seven abstentions, the Assembly expressed "unwavering support, in accordance with international law, for the two-state solution of Israel and Palestine."
Support is all the General Assembly can do. They’re a talk shop — all the power to actually do anything belongs to the Security Council.
The Assembly said the two states should be "living side by side in peace and security within recognized borders, based on the pre-1967 borders."

It has called for a high-level international meeting in New York in June 2025, to be co-chaired by France and Saudi Arabia, to breathe new life into diplomatic efforts to make the two-state solution a reality.
That’s the conference French President Macron ws so enthusiastic about a few days ago, though that was before his prime minister’s government fell in a No Confidence vote He may be less sanguine about the probability that he will be able to attend by now.
The assembly called for "realisation of the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, primarily the right to self-determination and the right to their independent state."
