Extracts: The United States has urged Australia to turn down a controversial [ultra extreme] United Nations (UN) resolution demanding Israel withdraw from Gaza and the West Bank
The eight-page draft
has called for Israel to “end without delay its unlawful presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory”
Key provisions included 1. a complete and unconditional withdrawal from Gaza 2. evacuation of Israeli settlers from the West Bank 3. and reparations for Palestinians
Palestine also demanded sanctions and travel bans on Israelis linked to the occupation and a ban on weapons sales to Tel Aviv

1. The resolution has omitted any reference to terror and terrorists Hamas or its recent terrorist attack on Israel 2. There was also no recognition of hostages still held by Hamas in Gaza
The US has since strongly condemned the draft resolution and urged its allies to reject – or at least *abstain – from voting on the resolution when it’s put forward on Thursday 19 September 2024
