On Friday, 142 of the UN’s 193 member states voted in favour of the resolution, while 10 countries – including Israel, the United States, Argentina, Hungary, and Paraguay – opposed it. Fourteen members of a single family were killed in the al-Tawam area, north of Gaza City. Witnesses alleged that Israeli forces employed booby-trapped robots to demolish residential buildings in Gaza City. Gaza’s Civil Defence accused Israel of deliberately targeting civilian housing to drive mass displacement under conditions of famine and disease. The General Assembly’s endorsement of the New York Declaration represents the most significant expression of international consensus on Palestinian statehood in years.
