UN General Assembly reviews draft resolution by Palestine calling for end to Israeli occupation

In a historic moment, Palestine, newly recognised by the UN General Assembly, has submitted a draft resolution demanding an end to Israel's illegal occupation of Palestinian territories. Building on a recent International Court of Justice ruling, the resolution calls for Israel to withdraw its troops, halt settlement expansion, and return land taken since 1967 within 12 months. While the US opposes the resolution, it has no veto power in the General Assembly, which has previously supported Palestine's recognition. The resolution, set for a vote, would not be legally binding but reflects global opinion as leaders gather for high-level UN meetings next week.

Why Israel's ambassador to UN is allowed, who says, "General Assembly is a circus"? Why are they even given a seat in the UN? Occupation is no nation and hence UN must ban Israel in UN general assembly. Rather it must accept the legitimacy of Palestine and give full-fledged membership to Palestinian ambassador.

Bravo Ireland! This little Colleen is so pleased with your honesty, compassion, integrity and your stand for justice and law. Thank you! ♾

I am growing to hate that US ambassador to the UN. At first I gave her a break and thought, she's just saying and doing what she's told. But as time has gone on I can see she is part of the problem and believes in the lies and propaganda that she's speaking. The Israeli guy is a master of projection, but he has a tell that I picked up on when he's really out in left field and he knows it. He doesn't know his tell, he just does it when he knows he's telling a wopper of a lie.

UN 144 Countries respects palestina❤🇵🇸

[Saidshuaili]

Hundred years of atrocities and genocide against Palestinian people from the second Palestine occupation.
British mandate of Palestine 1921 and the Haganah forces committed injustices for 27 years against Palestinian people. Killing and migrating thousands of Palestinian people to establish the second Palestine occupation on justification that.
David 921 BC killed Goliath Jalut Palestine King and occupied Palestine. David built his kingdom on Palestine occupied land.
Nebuchadnezzar liberated Palestine 600 BC.
The second Palestine occupation comes after 3000 years from the David 921 BC Palestine occupation.
Palestine was occupied by David for 300 years, Persians, Greek, Roman for 900, but Roman doesn't claim Palestine.

The World needs a new UN having a real-force to provide justice.
