UN General Assembly Endorses Two-State Solution Between Israel and Palestine, Excluding Hamas
The UN General Assembly has overwhelmingly voted in favor of a resolution endorsing the New York Declaration, which calls for a two-state solution to the ongoing Israel-Palestinian conflict while specifically excluding Hamas from any governance role in a future Palestinian state. This resolution garnered support from 142 nations, despite opposition from a smaller group. Notably, India and Germany announced their backing for the resolution, which aims to pave the way for the establishment of a Palestinian state. The approval has been met with mixed reactions, with some nations labeling it as a necessary step towards peace, while others, including the Trump administration, criticized it as a misleading gesture that benefits Hamas.
