The United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) has overwhelmingly voted to support a resolution demanding an end to Israel’s illegal occupation of “occupied Palestinian Territory” within a year, with Palestine’s UN ambassador calling the vote a turning point “in our struggle for freedom and justice”.
The nonbinding measure passed a 124-14 vote on Wednesday, with 43 countries abstaining. No major Western country except Israel’s closest ally, the United States, voted against the resolution that isolates Israel days before world leaders gather for the annual UN gathering in New York.
The resolution was submitted by Palestine, which became a “permanent observer state” at the UN in May.
