During an Emergency Special Session, the UN General Assembly addressed the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict, particularly the crisis in Gaza. A resolution was adopted with a large majority, demanding an “immediate humanitarian ceasefire,” the unconditional release of hostages, and ensuring humanitarian access. The resolution also reiterated the obligation of all parties to comply with international law, emphasizing the protection of civilians. The vote resulted in 153 in favor, 10 against, and 23 abstentions. Notably, amendments specifically referencing Hamas were voted down. The General Assembly will reconvene on Friday 22. The resolution, while not legally binding, carries significant moral weight. The session was convened under the “Uniting for Peace” resolution, allowing the General Assembly to address matters when the Security Council fails in its primary responsibility for international peace and security.
