The UN General Assembly's recent vote, urging Israel to withdraw from the occupied Palestinian territories, underscores the growing international calls against its continued occupation and settlement activities.
This resolution, passed by 124 to 14, marks a significant step as it not only advocates for sanctions against Israel but also seeks to enforce an ICJ ruling.
The resolution emphasizes that Israel’s security concerns cannot justify the illegal acquisition of territory, reinforcing international law over national security arguments.
With the backdrop of prior resolutions, this is notable as it represents the first instance since 1982 that the General Assembly has called for sanctions against Israel.
