The Palestinian presidency welcomed the adoption by the United Nations General Assembly, tonight, of the resolution to protect civilians and adhere to legal and humanitarian obligations.

Presidential spokesman Nabil Abu Rudeina thanked the countries that voted in favor of the resolution, confirming that the majority of the world stands with the Palestinian people, and that the Palestinian issue still enjoys a high status among the countries of the world.

He stressed that the vote of 120 countries in favor of the resolution means that the world confirms its rejection of the aggression against our people, their displacement from their land, and the creation of a new catastrophe.

He stressed that the world must take note of the voting results and deal with them seriously.

He reiterated that voting in favor of the resolution by such a large majority confirmed to the 14 countries that voted against it that the world rejects the policy of double standards.

The presidential spokesman confirmed that the majority of countries in the world still adopt the position of the Palestinian leadership calling for the establishment of a permanent and comprehensive peace by ending the Israeli occupation and establishing an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital, and that this can only be achieved by peaceful means, based on the relevant United Nations resolutions. In accordance with international law, and on the basis of the two-state solution.
