UN resolution Demanding Israel to End Occupation of Palestinian Lands
While the Voting Trend on Israeli Occupation in United Nations is evidently in favor of Palestine. It demands the withdrawal of Israeli military from the Palestinian territories. Furthermore, over 68% votes of the General Assembly demand the implementation of resolution and only 7% support Israel. Yet, the resolution of the General Assembly cannot be implemented due to its non-binding nature.
