One year ago, the United Nations General Assembly demanded that Israel must end its occupation of the Palestinian Territories within 12 months. There’s a growing global movement calling for the UN General Assembly to take up this request in another emergency special session when it meets this month. But the declaration is weak and avoids any strong action to pressure Israel to end the genocide or the occupation. However, without concrete pressure on Israel to agree to a ceasefire in Gaza and end the occupation, such recognition risks being symbolic at best. These measures should remain in place until Israel ends its genocide in Gaza and the post-1967 occupation of the Occupied Palestinian Territory.
