UNGA session votes overwhelmingly in favour of two-state solution for Israel-Palestine, condemns Hamas

New York, Sep 13 (UNI) The United Nations General Assembly overwhelmingly adopted a declaration urging "tangible, time-bound and irreversible steps" toward a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, explicitly excluding Hamas from any future role in Gaza.
The non-binding resolution, known as the New York Declaration, passed with 142 votes in favour, 9 against, and 12 abstentions on Friday. Israel and the United States opposed the measure, joined by Argentina, Hungary, Paraguay, Papua New Guinea, Micronesia, Nauru, Palau, and Tonga.
The vote preceded an upcoming UN summit co-chaired by Riyadh and Paris on September 22 in New York, in which Britain, France, Canada, Australia, and Belgium are expected to formally recognise a Palestinian state.
