Headline: UNCAPTIONED: UN Assembly Backs Two-State Plan
Caption: UN Assembly Backs Two-State Plan. The UN General Assembly overwhelmingly backed a resolution to revive the two-state solution amid rising violence. The vote came just after Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu publicly ruled out the possibility of a future Palestinian state. Approved by 142 nations, the 'New York Declaration' advances a two-state plan; 10 opposed, 12 abstained. Proposed by France and Saudi Arabia, it calls to end the Gaza war, free hostages, and transfer control to the Palestinian Authority. Palestine welcomed the resolution, urging global action to end Israel’s occupation. The vote signals global frustration over stalled talks and escalating Israeli actions. A UN summit on Sept 22 may bring more recognitions of Palestine, including from France and the UK. As the resolution passed, Israel escalated strikes in Gaza and beyond, drawing global condemnation. Israeli forces launched five Gaza airstrikes, killing 59 and signalling further escalation. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
