The United Nations General Assembly has passed a historic resolution endorsing a comprehensive roadmap for the establishment of a Palestinian state, explicitly excluding Hamas from any role in future governance.
The resolution received overwhelming support, with 142 nations voting in favor. It lays out tangible, time-bound steps toward a two-state solution, reaffirming the global community’s commitment to a peaceful and negotiated settlement of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

The declaration was the outcome of a Saudi- and French-led peace conference, which brought together broad international consensus. Only 10 countries opposed the resolution, while several major players abstained.
Notably, both the United States and Israel boycotted the process, leaving them diplomatically isolated as the majority of the international community endorsed the new framework.
A key feature of the resolution is the insistence on a Hamas-free Palestinian leadership as a precondition for statehood, signaling a decisive shift in global diplomacy toward supporting moderate Palestinian governance.
This vote marks one of the most significant steps in recent years toward resolving the decades-long conflict and could redefine the future of Middle East peace talks.
