These resolutions will condemn Israel's actions in Gaza, support Palestinian refugees, and denounce settlements. The Palestinians will also seek an official UN statement on the illegality of Israel's presence in Judea and Samaria. The Israeli delegation is actively working to counter these initiatives.

Palestinians Launch Diplomatic Offensive Against Israel at UN

Palestinians are preparing a series of anti-Israel measures aimed at undermining the Jewish state's international standing, according to a report by Ynet on November 6. These initiatives, expected to be submitted to the UN General Assembly within the next month, will include resolutions condemning Israel, particularly in the context of the Gaza war. The Palestinians also plan to seek documents that would expand aid to "Palestinian refugees," protect their property and income sources, and condemn "Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories, including East Jerusalem and the Golan Heights."

For the first time, Palestinians will demand an official UN statement declaring Israel's presence in Judea and Samaria illegal. Draft resolutions are in the final stages of coordination, including with European Union member states. While intensive consultations have occurred this week, final wording has not yet been approved by all 27 EU nations.

Despite potential disagreements and a lack of full European consensus, diplomatic sources believe the Palestinians will proceed with bringing the resolutions to a vote. The Israeli delegation at the UN, led by Dani Dayan, is working to soften the language and reduce the number of supporting countries. Dayan stated, "They (the Palestinians) are trying to use the situation to challenge us from the UN podium. The Israeli delegation is working closely with our allies to deal with this political attack."
