The UN General Assembly on Friday adopted the “New York Declaration” which aims to breathe new life into the two-state solution between Israel and Palestine — without the involvement of Hamas.
The text was adopted by 142 votes in favor, 10 against — including Israel and key ally the United States — and 12 abstentions. It clearly condemns Hamas and demands that it surrender its weapons.
