#Egypt and #Mauritania have invoked United Nations General Assembly Resolution 377, which described Israel as an occupying power, displacing 1.9 million people, and the sheer amount of breaches of international and humanitarian law.

Res.377 is invoked if the Security Council lacks unity between its 5 permanent members, and thus, the issue is taken from the hands of the SC to the hands of the General Assembly, where there is no veto power

While this decision is non-binding, it is of great importance.

1) It will show simply how much the world is against Israel, when you compare the numbers of those who vote against Israel with those who vote for.

2) It can legitimize armed action by #UN member nations, as was done in #Korea in the 1950s when it was first introduced, thus, the deployment of military force can be legitimized when the GA votes for this in majority.

United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres at UNSC: "It is important to also recognise the attack by Hamas did not happen in a vacuum.

The Palestinian people in Palestine have been subjected to 56 years of occupation

  • Their people displaced
  • Their homes demolished
  • Their children killed or imprisoned
  • Their land confiscated
  • Their hopes for a political solution have been vanishing"
  • Harassed and humiliated on a daily basis

The Israeli Foreign Minister criticized UN Secretary General Guterres' speech: What world do you live in?

Serbian Prez Vucic at UN General Assembly highlights hypocrisy of Western governments, pretending to adhere to law while violating UN charters.

— “For the first time 15 years ago, the most powerful 19 countries, without involving the UN Security Council, decided to brutally attack a sovereign country in European soil under the prerrogative of “preventing a humanitarian catastrophe,” but they are outraged when the Russian president uses similar wording,” Vucic said. “The truth is that almost all Western powers violated and still violate the UN charters,”

Not from The Onion: "The Palestinians are exploiting the ICJ as a Weapon of Mass Destruction in their Jihad War of Israel Demonisation" - gilad erdan, Israel's ambassador to the UN, verbatim.

He actually said it with straight face! The world does not need to demonize #Israel, their actions in occupied territories, their daily murder of Palestinians, their daily demolition of Palestinian home, schools, playgrounds, cemeteries and hospitals is clear enough.
