“The United Nations General Assembly overwhemingly backed a nonbinding solution on Friday supporting a two-state solution for Israel and Palestine, hours after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected the idea of a Palestinian state. Out of the 193-member world body, 142 countries voted in favour on the New York Declaration, 10 against and 12 abstained. The resolution, presented by France and Saudi Arabia, envisions the Palestinian Authority (PA) governing and in control of all Palestinian territory, with a transitional administrative committee immediately established after a ceasefire in Gaza. ‘Hamas must end its rule in Gaza and hand over its weapons to the Palestinian Authority,’ the declaration says, adding that it must also free all hostages.” (09/13/25)
