Overview

• The Assembly endorsed the France–Saudi text 142–10 with 12 abstentions, a non-binding move that signals broad support for a two-state track.
• The framework condemns the Oct. 7 attacks, demands immediate hostage releases, requires Hamas to relinquish control of Gaza and disarm in favor of the Palestinian Authority.
• It foresees a temporary international stabilization mission in Gaza under a UN Security Council mandate to protect civilians and support a transfer of security responsibilities.
• Israel and the United States opposed the measure; Israeli officials called it “a disgrace” that emboldens Hamas, while Washington described it as a poorly timed publicity stunt.
• The vote tees up a Sept. 22 summit co-chaired by France and Saudi Arabia, where countries plan recognition moves — Emmanuel Macron has pledged to recognize a Palestinian state; EU members backed the text as Argentina joined the no camp.
