The United Nations General Assembly adopted a significant nonbinding resolution demanding Israel end its unlawful occupation of Palestinian territory within a year.
The resolution, highlighting international condemnation of Israel, passed with a vote of 124 to 14, with notable opposition from the United States and Israel.
The Assembly's action came in response to a July ruling by the International Court of Justice, stating that Israel's occupation violates international law.
This resolution marks Palestine's first successful initiative at the U.N. since gaining new diplomatic privileges following a U.S. veto of a Security Council resolution.
