18 September 2024 21:05 BST
The United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) on Wednesday adopted a Palestinian-drafted resolution that demands Israel end "its unlawful presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory" within 12 months.
Out of 193 members of the UNGA, the resolution received 124 votes in favour, with 43 countries abstaining, while Israel, the US and 12 others voted no.
The resolution backed an advisory opinion by the ICJ – which found that Israel’s presence in Palestine is unlawful and must end.
