The UN General Assembly recently passed a resolution urging Israel to withdraw from the Palestinian territories within 12 months, based on recommendations from the UN Court of Justice. The resolution also calls for member states to refrain from selling arms and military equipment to Israel for use in Gaza, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem.

U.N. member states voted Wednesday to formally demand an end to the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories within 12 months and the imposition of sanctions for non-compliance.

Türkiye urged global support for Palestine's draft resolution that was submitted Tuesday to the U.N. General Assembly (UNGA) demanding Israel end its presence in the occupied Palestinian territories within 12 months.

More than six months of Israel's military offensive in Gaza has turned the Palestinian territory into a "humanitarian hellscape", U.N. chief Antonio Guterres said Thursday, also warning that one wrong move could see the Middle East devolve into a wider war as United States sank a long-shot Palestinian bid for full United Nations membership, vetoing a Security Council vote.
