Member States of the United Nations voted on Wednesday in favor of the fact that Israel must stop occupying the Palestinian territories within the next year, according to news agency AFP and Reuters.
If Israel does not act according to the decision, sanctions will be imposed on it. However, the decision is not binding.
124 states voted in favor of the decision, 43 abstained and 12 opposed the decision. Finland voted in favor of the decision. Israel and the United States opposed the decision.
The beginning originally, according to the resolution drafted by the Palestinian delegation, Israel is required to end its “illegal presence in the occupied Palestinian territory” as soon as possible.
This includes the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. The decision is based on an advisory statement made by the UN International Court of Justice, according to which the occupation started by Israel in 1967 is illegal.
In practice, Israel is required to withdraw its forces from the Palestinian territories, stop the establishment of illegal settlements, return the occupied territories and property, and enable the return of Palestinians who had to flee to the territories.
In the General Assembly’s decision, member countries are also called upon, among other things, to avoid exporting weapons or ammunition to Israel if they are suspected of being used in the Palestinian territories.
It is Palestine’s first draft resolution since Palestine was admitted to the UN General Assembly this month.
Israel and the United States have criticized the decision.
“This is what cynical international politics looks like,” a spokesman for the Israeli Defense Ministry Oren Marmorstein quoth in X.
According to Marmorstein, the decision encourages terrorism and is detached from reality.
US Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield condemned the decision even before the vote. According to him, the decision does not promote peace.
