controversial United Nations (UN) resolution demands the withdrawal of all Israeli forces and the evacuation of settlers from the occupied Palestinian territories "without delay"
It calls for Israel to pay reparations to Palestinians for the damage caused by its occupation
Neither the resolution, nor the World Court's advisory ruling, are legally binding
The resolution asks UN secretary-general Antonio Guterres to submit a report within three months on putting the resolution in place
Quote
“We fully abide by the decisions of the International Court of Justice" Mr Guterres told reporters "I will implement any decision of the general assembly in that regard"
Palestinian UN ambassador, Riyad Mansour, said
Quote
"Israel probably wouldn't pay attention to the resolution and that the Palestinians would then follow up with a stronger one"
Israel's UN ambassador, Danny Danon, said
Quote
"the vote showed the general assembly "continues to dance to the music of the Palestinian Authority, which backs the Hamas murderers"
Extracts: Antonio Guterres follows a worrisome trend in his handling of antisemitism as UN Secretary General -- UN long dominated by countries hostile to Israel
Quote
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
Again, there is no equivalence between Democratic Israel and murderousterrorists
