In a landmark decision, the United Nations General Assembly has voted in favor of a detailed roadmap to establish a Palestinian state, with a clear condition that Hamas will play no role in its governance.
The resolution, passed with 142 votes in favor, outlines specific steps and timelines to advance the long-delayed two-state solution. It reflects growing global momentum for a negotiated settlement and stronger support for Palestinian statehood under moderate leadership.
The framework emerged from a Saudi- and French-led peace initiative, which gained broad international backing. Only 10 countries opposed the resolution, while several abstained.
The U.S. and Israel boycotted the process, standing apart as most of the international community endorsed the plan.
The decision marks a major diplomatic shift, signaling that the path to Palestinian independence must exclude Hamas, while reinforcing international consensus on creating a stable and recognized Palestinian state.
