UNGA resolution on Palestine
Context
In a landmark move, India voted in favour of a pivotal United Nations General Assembly resolution calling for Israel to withdraw from Palestinian territories occupied since 1967, including East Jerusalem.
Key Points of the UNGA Resolution
- The resolution demandsIsrael’s immediate withdrawal from Palestinian territories, a move that includes the controversial East Jerusalem.
- It emphasises the realisation of the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, particularly their right to self-determination and to establish an independent state.
- The resolution goes further by demanding that Israel adhere to international law, particularly the advisory opinion issued by the International Court in July 2024.
- The court called for an end to Israel’s unlawful presence in Palestinian territories, urging the cessation of settlement activities and the evacuation of settlers.
- In addition, the resolution rejects any demographic or territorial changes in Gaza, reaffirming that the region is an integral part of Palestinian territories occupied in 1967.
India's Stance
- India's endorsement is significant, as it reflects the country's longstanding stance on the Palestinian issue and its consistent support for the realisation of a two-state solution.
- In addition to its support for Palestinian rights, India also backed a resolution demanding Israel’s withdrawal from the occupied Syrian Golan Heights.
- It stressed the illegality of the Israeli settlement construction and other activities in the occupied Syrian Golan since 1967.
