The UN General Assembly has overwhelmingly adopted a resolution demanding that Israel cease its occupation of Palestinian territories, including Gaza and the West Bank, within a period of 12 months. With 124 countries voting in favor and only 14 against, the resolution highlights a growing international consensus on the issue and adds pressure on Israel amidst ongoing tensions in the region. Notably, several countries including India, Canada, and Australia chose to abstain from the vote, reflecting the complex diplomatic dynamics surrounding the matter. Experts warn that the resolution could further heighten tensions in an already volatile situation.
