The UN General Assembly overwhelmingly approved a non-binding resolution supporting a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, urging Israel's commitment to a Palestinian state. The resolution, endorsed by 142 nations, calls for a phased plan to end the conflict and condemns attacks by both Hamas and Israel. Israel and the US vehemently opposed the resolution, with Israel's ambassador calling it 'theater' and the US deeming it a 'publicity stunt'. The resolution also urges international recognition of Palestine and calls for Hamas to relinquish control of Gaza.
