Mounting Pressure on Israel Over West Bank Occupation

Palestinians are escalating efforts to pressure Israel into withdrawing from occupied territories. The UN General Assembly is set to vote on a resolution supporting the International Court of Justice's stance on the issue.

Politicians are calling for an end to the Gaza conflict, a ceasefire, the release of hostages, and increased humanitarian aid, alongside the implementation of a two-state solution. An Israeli operation in the West Bank recently resulted in the death of six Palestinians, including a UNRWA employee.

Despite the tension, a polio vaccination campaign in Gaza was successfully completed, necessitating temporary ceasefires. Israel's control over the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem dates back to the Six-Day War in 1967. The international community continues to debate solutions, including the two-state proposal, to address the ongoing conflict and humanitarian crisis.
