“The 68th General Assembly has adopted a resolution declaring 2014 as ‘International Year of Solidarity with the Palestinian People.’ Co-sponsored by more than 30 countries, the resolution received 110 votes in favour, seven against and 56 abstained earlier in the day as the assembly wrapped up discussions on the Palestinian question which began Monday. Australia, Canada, Federated States of Micronesia, Israel, Marshall Islands, Palau and the United States voted ‘no.’ The resolution called for all efforts to promote the realization of the inalienable rights of Palestinians including their right to self-determination, support the Middle East peace process for the achievement of a two-state solution and the just resolution of all final status issues, and to mobilize international support for and assistance to Palestinians.” (Breitbart.com, Nov. 28, 2013) Comments are closed.
