UNGA Demands Israel End Occupation of Palestinian Territories Within a Year

The nonbinding resolution passed with overwhelming support, calling for withdrawal of military forces and cessation of settlement activities.

The United Nations General Assembly voted 124-14 in favor of a resolution demanding Israel end its occupation of Palestinian territories within 12 months.
The resolution calls for Israel to withdraw military forces, halt settlement expansions, and dismantle parts of the separation wall in the West Bank.
The resolution is based on an advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice, which declared the occupation illegal.
Countries that voted against the resolution include the United States, Israel, and several Pacific island nations, while others like Germany and India abstained.
The resolution also urges member states to cease arms transfers to Israel and impose sanctions on settlers involved in violence against Palestinians.
