The UN General Assembly overwhelmingly approved a non-binding resolution supporting a two-state solution for Israel and Palestine, despite Prime Minister Netanyahu's rejection. 142 countries voted in favor, urging Hamas to disarm and relinquish control of Gaza. The resolution condemns Hamas attacks and Israeli actions in Gaza, highlighting the humanitarian crisis. It calls for a UN-backed mission to protect civilians and promotes recognition of a Palestinian state as crucial for a two-state solution. Israel and the US opposed the resolution, deeming it one-sided and unhelpful to peace efforts.
