The Palestinian Resistance Movement Hamas has hailed a resolution passed unanimously by the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) calling for an end to the Zionist regime’s occupation of Palestinian territory.
Hamas, in a statement, said on Wednesday night that the adoption of this resolution expresses the true international will to support the Palestinian nation and its legitimate rights, and above all the right to self-determination and the formation of an independent state with al-Quds as its capital.
Hamas thanked the countries that voted in favor of the resolution and urged them to take more actions and decisions that will isolate the fascist occupation regime and put pressure on it to stop the genocidal war on the Gaza Strip.
The United Nations General Assembly on Wednesday local time overwhelmingly approved the resolution that was proposed in response to July ruling by the International Court of Justice that Israel’s presence in the Palestinian territories is unlawful and must end.
The approved resolution calls for the withdrawal of all Israeli forces and the evacuation of settlers from the occupied Palestinian territories “without delay”.
According to a report, General Assembly overwhelmingly endorsed resolution calling for reevaluation of Palestine’s UN membership bid, granting additional rights
The Palestinian Hamas group on Friday welcomed the passing of a resolution by the UN General Assembly calling for a reassessment of Palestine’s UN membership bid.
In a statement, the Hamas group considered the decision “an acknowledgment on the necessity for our Palestinian people to obtain their legitimate rights and an affirmation of the international rally around our people.”

Hamas urged the “free” countries worldwide “to intensify their efforts and provide all means of assistance and support to our Palestinian people, who seek freedom and to achieve their right to self-determination.”
It also called on the UN Security Council to take “a decision to recognize the State of Palestine as a full member of the United Nations.”
The UN General Assembly on Friday overwhelmingly endorsed a resolution calling for the reevaluation of Palestine’s UN membership bid and granting additional rights.
The resolution, which was spearheaded by the United Arab Emirates (on behalf of the Arab Group), was adopted by overwhelming consensus with 143 member states voting in favor, 9 against and 25 abstentions.
Co-sponsored by Türkiye along with nearly 80 member states, the resolution expressed “deep regret and concern” over veto of the US at the UN Security Council on April 18.
Palestine applied for full membership in the UN in 2011 but did not receive the necessary support from the Security Council under the US veto. It, however, in 2012 obtained “permanent observer status” at the UN.
