The United Nations General Assembly has reaffirmed its strong support for a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict. It highlights the international community’s dedication to achieving a peaceful resolution. The Assembly called for the creation of an independent Palestinian state that would coexist peacefully with Israel, in line with previous UN resolutions and international agreements.
During a session that saw broad international support, the General Assembly urged both sides to engage in meaningful negotiations. The resolution stressed the need to tackle critical issues such as borders, refugees, and the status of Jerusalem as part of a comprehensive peace deal.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres stated that a two-state solution is the only realistic path to peace in the region. He urged an end to violence, the expansion of settlements, and any actions that could jeopardize the chances of a negotiated settlement.
Although the resolution received significant backing, a few dissenting countries pointed out ongoing challenges, including regional instability and varying interpretations of international law. The Assembly’s reaffirmation highlights the pressing need to resolve one of the world’s longest-standing conflicts.
