UN passes resolutions on Palestine, Israel issue
The United Nations General Assembly has passed a number of resolutions in support of a Palestinian State, chief among them stressing the need for a resumption in negotiations with Israel based on clear parameters and a time-frame for their conclusion.
The resolution urging a peaceful settlement to the conflict passed by 155 in favour, 7 against and 7 abstentions.
The General Assembly also declared certain actions by Israel in parts of Jerusalem illegal, and therefore null and void and without validity.
The votes come ahead of the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian people on November 29th.
It’s an annual event at the global body.
