Overview

  • The New York Declaration awaits approval by UN member states before the 80th General Assembly session after the United States and Israel boycotted the July 29 conference.
  • It outlines an immediate end to the 22-month Gaza war and the establishment of a transitional administrative committee operating under the Palestinian Authority.
  • A UN-mandated temporary international stabilization mission is proposed to secure the ceasefire and support the transfer of authority to Palestinian governance.
  • The plan demands that Israel publicly commit to recognizing a sovereign Palestinian state and halt all settlement and annexation in occupied territories.
  • In a July 31 Rajya Sabha response, India reaffirmed its unwavering support for a negotiated two-state solution and explained its June abstention ahead of direct peace talks.
