The United Nations has given israel a deadline to leave Gaza amid the Israel-Hamas war.

The atmosphere against israel can be clearly seen in this voting. 124 votes have been cast against israel in the voting, while 14 votes are in support and 43 members were not involved in the voting.

'Israel's illegal settlements in the West bank and east Jerusalem'
The resolution has supported the comment made by the UN's top court i.e. the international court of Justice. This comment states that Israel's presence in the Palestinian territories is illegal and must end. The court ruled in July that israel is abusing its position as an occupying power.
The court had stressed that there are illegal Israeli settlements in the West bank and east Jerusalem.
