The New York Declaration is the outcome of an international conference held in July at UN Headquarters, organized by France and Saudi Arabia, which resumes later this month.<\/p>\n

The General Assembly comprises all 193 UN Member States and 142 countries voted in favour of a resolution backing the document.<\/p>\n

Israel voted against it, alongside nine other countries \u2013 Argentina, Hungary, Micronesia, Nauru, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Paraguay, Tonga and the United States \u2013 while 12 nations abstained<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u2018Roadmap\u2019 for the future<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Prior to the vote, French Ambassador J\u00e9r\u00f4me Bonnafont recalled that the New York Declaration \u201clays out a single roadmap to deliver the two-State solution\u201d.<\/p>\n

This involves an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, release of all hostages held there, and the establishment of a Palestinian State that is both viable and sovereign.<\/p>\n

The roadmap further calls for the disarmament of Hamas and its exclusion from governance in Gaza, normalization between Israel and the Arab countries, as well as collective security guarantees.<\/p>\n

Speaking ahead of the vote, Israeli Ambassador Danny Danon said that \u201cthis one-sided Declaration will not be remembered as a step toward peace, only as another hollow gesture that weakens this Assembly\u2019s credibility.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

He said that \u201cHamas is the biggest winner of any endorsement here today\u201d and will declare it \u201cthe fruit of 7 October\u201d.<\/p>\n

The high-level international conference in July was held against the backdrop of the war in Gaza and deteriorating prospects for the two-State solution.<\/p>\n

In remarks to the opening segment, UN Secretary-General Ant\u00f3nio Guterres noted that \u201cthe central question for Middle East peace is implementation of the two-State solution, where two independent, sovereign, democratic States \u2013 Israel and Palestine \u2013 live side-by-side in peace and security.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
