[5.9] UN overwhelmingly backs two-state solution to Israel-Palestinian conflict — apnews.com (+77)

The UN General Assembly overwhelmingly voted Friday to support a two-state solution for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, urging Israel’s commitment despite its government’s opposition to a Palestinian state.

The nonbinding resolution passed 142-10 with 12 abstentions. The vote followed Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu’s vow against a Palestinian state while announcing an expansion of West Bank settlements, which Palestinians want for their state.

Sponsored by France and Saudi Arabia, the resolution endorses the “New York Declaration,” a phased peace plan. Both the US and Israel opposed the resolution, calling it counterproductive to diplomatic efforts.

U.S. President Donald Trump stated on Friday his patience is "running out fast," threatening new economic sanctions against banks and the oil sector.
