Origin

2024 - First part-session

In the draft resolution, replace paragraph 11.4 with the following paragraph:

"lend their full diplomatic support to a two-state solution and the creation of preconditions for a viable and lasting peace in the Middle East, including by cutting all commercial ties with Israeli settlements which are illegal under international law".

Explanatory note

A two-state solution involves the disengagement of the State of Israel from the illegal colonisation of the occupied Palestinian territories, without which a Palestinian state could never see the light of day.
