Palestinian UN proposal demands Israel leave Gaza in six months

Palestine has circulated a draft United Nations resolution demanding that Israel end its “unlawful presence” in Gaza and the West Bank within six months, Al Jazeera reports.

The Associated Press obtained the proposed UN General Assembly resolution. It follows a July ruling by the top United Nations court that said Israel’s presence in the Palestinian territories is unlawful and must end.

The Palestinian draft resolution, if adopted, would not be legally binding. It demands that Israel comply with international law, including by immediately withdrawing all military forces from the territories.

The draft resolution not only demands an end to all new settlement activity but also the evacuation of all settlers and the dismantling of the separation barrier Israel constructed in the West Bank.

It also calls for all Palestinians displaced during Israel’s occupation to be allowed “to return to their original place of residence” and for Israel to make reparations “for the damage caused” to all people in the territories.
