The United Kingdom abstained from a recent UN resolution regarding Israel and Palestine, emphasizing its commitment to a negotiated two-state solution while expressing concern over Israel's actions in the Occupied Territories. The UN General Assembly is scheduled to vote on a resolution demanding Israel withdraw from Gaza and the West Bank, following a July ruling by the International Court of Justice declaring Israel's presence unlawful. Concurrently, a poll indicated a decline in support among Gazans for Hamas' October 7 attack on Israel, with 57% deeming it incorrect, signaling a shift in public sentiment amid ongoing violence. In New Zealand, a poll found significant public support for recognizing Palestine as a state and imposing sanctions on Israel, especially among younger demographics. However, a notable portion of respondents expressed uncertainty about their opinions on these issues, attributed to daily life challenges and lack of information. These developments underscore a complex international landscape regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, with calls for peace and recognition gaining traction amidst ongoing tensions.
