The UN General Assembly passed a resolution on Tuesday calling for the organization of a high-level international conference to advance the implementation of resolutions aimed at achieving a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Introduced by Senegal and backed by numerous co-sponsors, the resolution received overwhelming support, with 157 votes in favor. Eight countries, including Israel, the United States, Hungary, and Argentina, voted against it, while seven nations, including Ukraine and the Czech Republic, abstained.
The resolution emphasizes the need for a “just, lasting, and comprehensive peace” in the Middle East and outlines plans for a conference to be held in New York from June 2 to 4, 2025, preceded by a preparatory meeting in May 2025. It aims to produce a roadmap for resolving the conflict and establishing a two-state solution.
The text calls on Israel to end its “unlawful presence” in the "Occupied Palestinian Territory", halt settlement activities, evacuate settlers, and cease all “unlawful acts.”
