The International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, recognized by the UN since 1977, is rooted in Resolution 181, passed by the UN General Assembly on November 29, 1947. The resolution proposed the partition of Palestine into “Arab” and “Jewish” states.
Israel has launched a genocidal war in the Gaza Strip following cross-border attacks by the Palestinian group Hamas in October last year. These attacks resulted in over 44,300 fatalities—mostly women and children—and injured more than 104,900 individuals.
The second year of genocide in Gaza has drawn increasing international condemnation, with officials and organizations labeling the assaults and blockade of aid deliveries as deliberate attempts to destroy a population. (T/RE1/P2)
