The United Nations General Assembly has adopted a resolution demanding that Israel ends what it describes as its "unlawful presence" in the occupied Palestinian territories within the next 12 months. The resolution, passed with significant international support, calls for Israel to withdraw from the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, territories that have been under Israeli control since the 1967 Six-Day War. The vote marks another chapter in the long-standing conflict between Israel and Palestine and highlights the global community’s growing pressure on Israel to address its occupation policies.
