The United Nations General Assembly will on Wednesday adopt a Palestinian-drafted resolution that demands Israel end
UNITED NATIONS - "its unlawful presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory" within 12 months.
The advisory opinion - by the highest United Nations court also known as the World Court - said this should be done"as rapidly as possible," although the draft General Assembly resolution allows for a 12-month timeline. The ICJ advisory opinion is not binding but carries weight under international law and may weaken support for Israel. A General Assembly resolution also is not binding, but carries political weight. There is no veto power in the assembly.
He rejected the draft Palestinian text, saying:"Let's call this for what it is: this resolution is diplomatic terrorism, using the tools of diplomacy not to build bridges but to destroy them." Since then, Israel's military has leveled swaths of the Palestinian enclave, driving nearly all of its 2.3 million people from their homes, giving rise to deadly hunger and disease and killing more than 41,000 people, according to Palestinian health authorities.
