"It says Israel must return land and other “immovable property”
as well as all assets seized since the occupation began in 1967
and all cultural property and assets taken from Palestinians and Palestinian institutions.
The resolution also demands Israel allow all Palestinians displaced during the occupation to return to their places of origin and make reparations for the damage caused by its occupation. "
The world’s highest court ruled that Israel is “abusing its status as the occupying power” by
building and expanding settlements,
using the area’s natural resources,
annexing and imposing permanent controls over lands,
and undermining Palestinians’ right to self-determination."
But look a pigmy hippo.
"the vast majority of the international community consider the Palestinian territory as Israeli-occupied."
"The list of those opposed includes Israel and its top ally, the United States.
Argentina,
which in 2010 had recognised Palestinian statehood, has under current President Javier Milei
shifted its stance and grown into one of Israel’s staunchest diplomatic supporters. It too opposed the resolution.
Paraguay
is the only other nation in the Americas that voted against the resolution."

Overall, almost
all of Africa,
Europe,
Asia
and Latin America
voted yes.
Beep beep beep.

"Gaza crisis: In the Gaza Strip, Israel has waged one of this century’s most destructive wars, killing tens of thousands and plunging at least half of the population into “famine-like conditions.” For months, Israel has resisted pressure from Western allies to allow more humanitarian aid into the enclave.
U.S. involvement: Despite tensions between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and some U.S. politicians, including President Biden, the United States supports Israel with weapons, funds aid packages, and has vetoed or abstained from the United Nations’ cease-fire resolutions.
History: The roots of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and mistrust are deep and complex, predating the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948. Read more on the history of the Gaza Strip."
