The UN General Assembly is reviewing a draft resolution from Palestine calling for an end to the Israeli occupation.
In a historic move, Palestine, newly elevated to observer status at the UN General Assembly (UNGA), has introduced a draft resolution calling for an end to Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestinian territories.
Citing a recent ruling by the International Court of Justice, the resolution urges Israel to withdraw its forces, cease settlement expansion, and return land seized since 1967 within a year.
Although the U.S. opposes the resolution, it lacks veto power in the UNGA, which has previously supported Palestinian recognition.
The resolution, set to be voted on by UNGA members today, is not legally binding but reflects global sentiment as leaders prepare for high-level UN meetings next week.
