Declaration demanding 2-state solution wins 142 votes; US, Israel oppose

THE UN General Assembly voted Friday to back the "New York Declaration," a resolution which seeks to breathe new life into the two-state solution between Israel and Palestine—without the involvement of Hamas.

The text was adopted by 142 votes in favor, 10 against—including Israel and key ally the United States—and 12 abstentions. It clearly condemns Hamas and demands that it surrender its weapons.

Although Israel has criticized UN bodies for nearly two years over their failure to condemn Hamas's attack on October 7, 2023, the declaration, presented by France and Saudi Arabia, leaves no ambiguity.
