New York, MINA – The UN General Assembly has adopted a resolution supporting the New York Declaration, which seeks to recognize a Palestinian State and advance a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The resolution, titled “Adoption of the New York Declaration on the Peaceful Settlement of the Question of Palestine and the Implementation of the Two-State Solution,” was passed with 142 votes in favor, 10 against, and 12 abstentions.
Introduced by France and Saudi Arabia, the declaration was co-signed by 17 member states at an international conference held at the UN Headquarters in New York in July 2025.
“This declaration stems from the work carried out during the conference on July 28–30, 2025, and was drafted in collaboration with the 17 co-chairs of the working groups,” said Jérôme Bonnafont, France’s Representative to the UN.
