On September 12, the UN General Assembly approved a document of historical significance - the declaration on the peaceful settlement of the Palestinian issue and the creation of two states - Israel and Palestine.
According to the data, a total of 142 states supported this declaration. Among them are Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan. At the same time, 10 countries, including the USA and Israel, voted against it. Another 12 countries, in particular Spain, Cameroon, and North Macedonia, remained neutral.
The roadmap of the document, called the "New York Declaration," includes several important issues. It provides for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, the release of all hostages, and the creation of an independent and sovereign Palestinian state. The declaration also addressed the disarmament and removal of Hamas from power, the normalization of relations between Israel and Arab countries, and ensuring collective security guarantees.
Israeli Ambassador to the UN Dani Danon, before voting, assessed the document as a "one-sided decision." According to him, the declaration could go down in history not as a practical step towards peace, but as another empty move that casts a shadow on the Assembly's reputation.
Thus, disputes on the international arena regarding the resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian problem have intensified. The new UN Declaration could become one of the key points for future negotiations.
