Dominica chose not to participate in voting on the \u201cNew York Declaration,\u201d which expressed support for a Palestinian state alongside Israel. This declaration, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on Friday, September 12, aims to outline concrete steps toward a two-state solution amidst ongoing conflicts.<\/p>\n

News outlet Reuters wrote that the resolution was put forward following an international conference held at the UN in July, hosted by Saudi Arabia and France, to address the long-standing Israeli-Palestinian dispute. Notably, both the United States and Israel abstained from attending the July conference.<\/p>\n

Today, the General Assembly overwhelmingly approved the declaration, with 142 countries voting in favor, 10 against, and 12 abstentions. The resolution received backing from all Gulf Arab nations but was opposed by Israel, the United States, and several other countries such as Argentina, Hungary, and Palau.<\/p>\n

The document reportedly emphasizes the importance of immediate, irreversible, and measurable actions to advance peace efforts between Israel and the Palestinians. This vote precedes a gathering of world leaders scheduled for September 22 during the high-level UN General Assembly meeting, where several nations, including Britain, are expected to recognize a Palestinian state formally, said Reuters.<\/p>\n

The seven-page declaration condemns recent violence, including the October 7, 2023, Hamas attacks on Israel, which ignited the ongoing conflict in Gaza. It also criticizes Israel\u2019s military responses in Gaza, citing damage to civilian infrastructure, sieges, and starvation as contributing to a severe humanitarian crisis.<\/p>\n

The document calls for an immediate cessation of hostilities in Gaza and supports the deployment of an international stabilization force under the authority of the UN Security Council.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dominica chose not to participate in voting on the \u201cNew York Declaration,\u201d which expressed support for a Palestinian state alongside Israel.
