On September 12, the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution, which was approved by the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly, to adopt the "New York Declaration on the Peaceful Resolution of the Palestinian Question and the Implementation of the Two-State Solution." The voting result was 142 votes in favor, 10 against, and 12 abstentions. The United States and Israel opposed the resolution.
The statement said, "In the context of the end of the war in Gaza, Hamas must cease to exercise power over the Gaza Strip and transfer its weapons to the Palestinian Authority under the support and cooperation of the international community, in order to achieve the goal of establishing a sovereign and independent Palestinian state."
The Palestinian side stated that the UN vote was "an important step in ending the occupation." Richard Gowan, director of the International Crisis Group at the United Nations, said, "It is very important that the assembly finally supported the text that openly condemned Hamas."
Comments: The opposition from the United States and Israel undoubtedly added significant obstacles to the implementation of the resolution. On the Israeli side, Prime Minister Netanyahu's hardline political stance denies the legitimacy of a Palestinian state, while unwilling to give up control over Palestinian territory and resources, and needs to cater to domestic right-wing public opinion to maintain its political base; the United States, due to its geostrategic considerations in the Middle East, needs to support Israel to consolidate its regional interests, and plus the influence of pro-Israel lobbying groups within the country, ultimately chose to align with Israel's position and jointly oppose the resolution.
