On November 11, the UN Second Committee passed a resolution affirming permanent sovereignty of Palestinians over natural resources in occupied territories, including East Jerusalem and the Syrian Golan, with 151 votes in favor, seven against—including Israel and the US—and 11 abstentions. Submitted by Uruguay for the Group of 77 and China, it demands Israel stop exploiting those resources and comply with international law, now heading to the General Assembly. The vote aligns with India's consistent stance and support from EU members and Canada, while Gaza endures heavy rains flooding camps, raising health risks for children in unsanitary conditions and prompting urgent calls for winter aid.
