On Friday, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution declaring Palestine eligible for full membership in the United Nations and recommends that the Security Council reconsider this issue positively.

A total of 143 countries voted in favor, 25 abstained and 9 rejected the resolution.

The resolution establishes the eligibility of the State of Palestine for membership in the United Nations in accordance with Article 4 of the Charter and emphasizes the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination, including the right to establish an independent State of Palestine.

The resolution affirms the inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by force and demands the preservation of the territorial integrity of all the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem, and the withdrawal of Israel from the Palestinian territory occupied since 1967.

The Assembly resolution requests UN Secretary-General António Guterres to take the necessary measures to implement the resolution.

The General Assembly resolution would grant Palestinians some additional rights and privileges from September 2024, such as a seat with UN member states in the Assembly Hall, but without the right to vote on it.
