UN Assembly Rushes On Two-State Solution In Palestine-Israel Conflict
By Stefan J. Bos, Chief International Correspondent Worthy News
BUDAPEST/JERUSALEM/NEW YORK (Worthy News) – The United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday rushed to achieve a “two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict” amid ongoing clashes in Gaza between what is left of Hamas and Israel’s military.
Delegates adopted a resolution calling for the organization of a high-level conference aimed at implementing relevant resolutions and effectively achieving a Palestinian state next to Israel.
Senegal introduced the resolution, which was co-sponsored by numerous countries. It passed with 157 votes in favor, eight against, and seven abstentions.
In addition to Israel, the other countries that voted against the resolution were Hungary, one of the European Union’s most pro-Israel nations, along with Argentina, Micronesia, Nauru, Palau, Papua New Guinea, and the United States.
Cameroon, the Czech Republic, Ecuador, Georgia, Paraguay, Ukraine and Uruguay abstained.
The resolution stressed the need for a “two-state solution” and “a just, lasting, and comprehensive peace in the Middle East.”
It said it was crucial to have a “High-level International Conference for the Peaceful Settlement of the Question of Palestine and the Implementation of the Two-State Solution.”
The resolution stipulates that the Conference will be held from June 2 to 4, 2025, in New York and will be preceded by a preparatory meeting to be held in May 2025.
It also called for the adoption of a declaration outlining a roadmap for the “peaceful resolution” of the Israeli-Palestinian Arab conflict and the establishment of a two-state solution.
Israel has condemned these resolutions as awarding Hamas for its massacre of 1,200 people in Israel on October 7, 2023, which also saw the abduction of some 250 people.
The resolution demands that Israel “bring an end to its unlawful presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory as rapidly as possible, to cease immediately all new settlement activities and to evacuate all settlers from the Occupied Palestinian Territory, and to put an end to its unlawful acts.”

Rejecting any demographic or territorial changes in “the occupied Palestinian territories, including East Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip,” the resolution underscores “that the acquisition of land by force is illegal and undermines the two-state solution.”
It further demands the immediate cessation of all forms of violence, including military attacks, destruction, and acts of terror.
