The United Nations General Assembly’s resolution reaffirms the International Court of Justice’s finding that Israel’s prolonged occupation is unlawful and constitutes a violation of international law.
The resolution was adopted by a vote of 124 to 14, highlighting that only a few nations, including the United States and Israel, opposed the condemnation of the occupation.
The general assembly asserts Israel’s actions in the occupied territories amount to de facto annexation and violate the principle against acquiring territory by force.
This legal shift means the international community should now view the occupation as a violation of Palestinians' right to self-determination, akin to an act of aggression.
