India was among the 142 countries that voted to support the declaration.
On Friday, the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) approved a decision that supports a decision to support a peaceful settlement of New York’s Palestinian problem and the implementation of the two -state solution, and India voted for support between 142 countries. The decision was supported by 142 countries opposed by 10, according to the vote results on the UN screen. India’s attitude towards the two-state solution for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a long-standing policy of supporting a reciprocating settlement that has established a sovereign, independent and applicable Palestinian state with a safe state of Israel within the well-known boundaries of Israel.
What did Israel say in the Unga vote?
The countries opposing the declaration included Israel and the US. Reacting to the UNGA decision, Israel said that a “shameful” vote in favor of a Palestinian state that does not contain Hamas will encourage the militant group to continue the war in Gaza. The vote will be chaired by France and Saudi Arabia days before a planned UN summit in New York, New York on 22 September. French President Emmanuel Macron promised to officially recognize the Palestinian state at this summit.
What is the New York Declaration in Palestine?
The New York Declaration calls for a two -state solution between Israel and Palestine. Metin condemns Hamas’s attack on Israel on 7 October 2023 and Israel’s attacks on civilians in Gaza. He calls Hamas to release all Israeli hostages and withdraw the Israeli forces from Gaza. The document wants Hamas to end its administration in Gaza and deliver its weapons to the Palestinian authority. “Gaza is an integral part of the Palestinian state and should be combined with the West Bank. There should be no occupation, siege, regional reduction or forced displacement.” The Declaration aims to bring peace, security and stability to the Middle East, which has been full of conflicts for years.
