UN assembly votes overwhelmingly to back two-state solution to Israel-Palestinian conflict
- On September 12, 2025, at the United Nations headquarters in New York City, member states approved the New York Declaration, which supports a two-state solution for resolving the Israel-Palestine conflict.
- This vote took place after a July 29 conference, jointly led by France and Saudi Arabia, which unveiled a declaration promoting broader international acceptance of Palestinian statehood.
- The declaration demands that Hamas lay down its arms and place itself under the authority of the Palestinian leadership, praises Palestine for updating its educational programs to counteract extremism, and calls on Israel to implement comparable changes.
- The resolution passed with a vote of 142 in favor, 10 against including Israel and the U.S., and 12 abstentions, while Israel’s ambassador Danny Danon called it "another hollow gesture" benefiting Hamas.
- The vote symbolizes growing global support for Palestine despite opposition from Israel, the United States, and several nations, and signals potential recognition moves by countries such as the UK, France, Canada, and Australia.
