The United Nations General Assembly in New York adopted on Tuesday afternoon two resolutions under the item of the Palestinian question, the first on the mandate of the people of Palestine in the United Nations Secretariat, and the second on the peaceful solution to the Palestinian question, which this year included a call to hold an international conference next June at the United Nations in New York under the chairmanship of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and France, including its foundations, mechanisms and objectives.

The first decision was: 101 votes in favor, 27 against, 42 abstentions.

The second decision was approved by: 157 votes in favor, 8 vs, 7 abstentions.

Minister Dr. Riyad Mansour stated that this overwhelming vote in favor of a peaceful political solution and holding an international conference, in addition to the votes of countries such as Canada and others, confirms the almost unanimous readiness of the countries of the world to find a just and lasting solution to the Palestinian issue based on international law, relevant UN resolutions, and accountability. Accordingly, the State of Palestine welcomes this strong and comprehensive international position and thanks the countries that voted in favor of the resolution.
