News 📅 11 November 2026 📍 Palestine

On 11 November, the UN General Assembly’s Second Committee adopted a draft resolution submitted by the Group of 77 and China on Palestinians’ and occupied Syrian Golan residents’ permanent sovereignty over natural resources. WAFA reported the vote was 151 in favor, seven against and 11 abstentions. The text demands Israel cease exploiting, damaging or depleting those resources and affirms the Palestinian people’s right to claim restitution for their exploitation. This was a Second Committee vote on a draft, not adoption by the General Assembly plenary.
