Palestinian Foreign Ministry welcomes overwhelming UN Vote on peaceful settlement of Palestine issue

The Palestinian Foreign Ministry has welcomed a decisive vote at the UN General Assembly in favour of a resolution calling for a peaceful settlement of the question of Palestine, describing the outcome as renewed international support for Palestinian rights. The resolution, adopted during the 80th session of the General Assembly with 151 votes in favour, 11 against and 11 abstentions, reaffirms the illegality of acquiring territory by force and calls for respect for the territorial integrity of all occupied Palestinian land, including East Jerusalem. In a statement, the ministry said the vote reflected a clear international consensus rejecting Israel's continued occupation and its violations of international law. It added that the resolution underscored the global commitment not to recognise any unilateral changes to the pre-1967 borders, including those affecting Jerusalem or the demographic and territorial character of Gaza. The ministry noted that the resolution holds Israel, as the occupying power, responsible for ending its unlawful presence in the occupied territories, dismantling settlements and repealing legislation that entrenches the occupation—steps it said were consistent with the International Court of Justice’s advisory opinion issued in July 2024.
