The UN General Assembly voted in favour of establishing a Palestinian state. The resolution, backed by 142 countries, calls for a two-state solution, a ceasefire in Gaza, release of hostages, Hamas disarmament, and regional security guarantees.

Israel voted against it, alongside nine other countries – Argentina, Hungary, Micronesia, Nauru, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Paraguay, Tonga and the United States – while 12 nations abstained.

Sounds great. How is this enforced?

Same as Apartheid in South Africa was tackled. Sanctions until Israel complies. But it will be on the member states to sanction Israel and so far it's mostly words.

UNGA can go to enforcement through the United for peace resolution 377A, to bypass UNSC vetoes.

But again it will be on the member states to initiate the process.



It's looking more and more like military intervention is the only option to end the genocide. The little hope that is left is that Trump will finally say no to Netanyahu and will end military support. Yet even then Netanyahu can keep going and turn Israel into something like North Korea. And then be ignored just like North Korea. 2021 estimate for NK sites 300K to 350K deaths from famine...


It's looking grim for all Palestinians in the region, all words, no actions.
