The UN General Assembly advocates the creation of two states in the Middle East, Israel and Palestine
The vote is not binding, but it does measure the support for the creation of a Palestinian state. The US is finding it increasingly difficult to find countries that support its opposition.
The UN General Assembly this Wednesday advocated a solution for the creation of two statesin the Middle East, Israel and Palestine. As usual, Israel, the US, the allied countries of Hungary, Argentina or Paraguay, and the small islands of the Pacific, voted against.
142 states voted in favour, 10 opposed and 12 abstained. This time, the United Kingdom, France, Canada or Australia supported the resolution. In recent months, they have expressed their readiness to change their position and accept the State of Palestine.
In the European Union there are differences between the states, Hungary voted against, the Czech Republic abstained and Germany and the Netherlands, which have traditionally been allies of Israel, voted in favour.
The votes of the General Assembly are not binding, and therefore their meaning is merely symbolic, but they serve tomeasure the support that so many subjects may have. In this case, the creation of the Palestinian State is increasingly supported by the Member States, and it is increasingly difficult for the United States of America to find peoples to support its opposition.
The declaration, which was voted on this Friday, called the 'New York Declaration', was adopted at a high-level conference organised by France and Saudi Arabia on 29 July.
The week of 22 September will continue to discuss this issue and some major Western powers have announced that they will take the step of accepting the State of Palestine during that week.
