- The resolution passed with a vote of 142 in favor, 10 against including Israel and the U.S., and 12 abstentions, while Israel’s ambassador Danny Danon called it "another hollow gesture" benefiting Hamas.
- The vote symbolizes growing global support for Palestine despite opposition from Israel, the United States, and several nations, and signals potential recognition moves by countries such as the UK, France, Canada, and Australia.
