The third resolution, dealing with Palestinian refugees’ property and the revenue derived from it, passed with support from 157 countries. Ten countries voted against, and nine abstained.

The fifth resolution, condemning Israeli settlement activities in the occupied Palestinian territories — including al-Quds and the occupied Syrian Golan — was adopted with 146 votes in favor, 13 against, and 17 abstentions.
Riyad Mansour, the Permanent Representative of Palestine to the UN, expressed gratitude to member states for their broad support and noted the growing global solidarity with the Palestinian people, particularly concerning issues affecting refugees.
He described this support as especially significant at a time when Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank face what he called Israel’s brutal aggression.
