The New York Declaration is the result of an international conference held in July at the UN headquarters, organized by France and Saudi Arabia, which later resumed this month.
The general meeting includes the 193 UN member states and 142 countries voted in favor of A resolution Support the document.
Israel voted against her, alongside nine other countries-Argentina, Hungary, Micronesia, Nauru, Palaos, Papuasie-Nouvelle.
“Roadmap” for the future
Before the vote, the French ambassador Jérôme Bonnafont recalled that the New York Declaration “presents a single roadmap to deliver the solution to two states”.
This implies an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, the release of all the hostages held there and the creation of a Palestinian state that is both viable and sovereign.
The roadmap also calls for the disarmament of Hamas and its exclusion from governance in Gaza, normalization between Israel and Arab countries, as well as collective security guarantees.
Speaking before the vote, the Israeli ambassador Danny Danon said that “this unilateral statement will not remain in memories as a stage towards peace, only as another hollow gesture which weakens the credibility of this assembly.”
He said that “Hamas is the greatest winner of all approval here today” and will declare it “the fruit of October 7”.
The high -level international conference in July took place in the context of the war in Gaza and to deteriorate the prospects of the two -state solution.
In remarks in the opening segment, a Secretary General António Guterres Note that “the central question for peace in the Middle East is the implementation of the two-state solution, where two independent, sovereign and democratic United States-Israel and Palestine-live side by side in peace and security”.
