UN set to debate resolution on ending Israeli occupation
17 September 2024 07:42 BST
The UN General Assembly to set to debate a push by Palestinians to pass a resolution that calls for the end of Israeli occupation within 12 months.
The text is based around the International Court of Justice's advisory opinion calling Israel's occupation of territories since 1967 "unlawful".
The draft resolution "demands" the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Palestinian territories, a halt to new settlements, the return of seized land and property and the possibility of return for displaced Palestinians.
Israel has strongly criticised the wording.
The resolution is expected to be voted on late on Tuesday or Wednesday.
