The UN General Assembly adopted a resolution calling on Israel to leave the occupied territories
The United Nations General Assembly has adopted a resolution proposed by Palestine demanding that Israel comply with the decision of the International Criminal Court and leave the occupied Palestinian territories within a year.
It is the first resolution proposed by Palestine since the country's rights were expanded at the UN General Assembly earlier this year.
TASS reports this.
How the UNGA adopted the Palestinian resolution
124 countries voted for the document, including Russia, China, Brazil, France, Belgium and Qatar.
Fourteen countries voted against, including Israel, the United States, the Czech Republic and Hungary.
43 countries abstained from voting. A two-thirds majority was required to pass the document.
Resolutions of the UN General Assembly, unlike documents of the Security Council, do not have binding legal force.
The Israeli Foreign Ministry rejected the resolution, calling its adoption a parade of stupidity and the UN General Assembly itself political theater.
Israel rejects the UN General Assembly's distorted and unrealistic decision, the Israeli Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
