The declaration states that the Palestinian state will exist without Hamas, which must surrender and release the hostages.
The United Nations General Assembly has endorsed the Saudi-Francis New York Declaration, which calls for a two-state solution for Palestine.
According to the World News Agency, the United Nations General Assembly overwhelmingly adopted a resolution on the proclamation of the New York Declaration on Friday.
The aim is to revive a two-state solution between Israel and Palestine, but it does not explicitly include Hamas.
It should be noted that the General Assembly has for the first time directly condemned Hamas' attacks on civilians in the attacks of October 7, 2023.
142 member states supported the declaration, but 10 countries, including Israel and the United States, voted against it, while 12 member states did not participate in the vote.
This resolution was submitted by Saudi Arabia and France, the text of which strongly condemns Hamas and calls on it to lay down its arms and release all hostages.
The resolution has already been unanimously approved by the Arab League, with 17 member states signing it in July.
The declaration said that Hamas must end its rule over Gaza and hand over its weapons to the Palestinian Authority.
So that the path can be paved for the establishment of an independent and sovereign Palestinian state with international cooperation and support.
The resolution calls for a ceasefire, an end to the war in Gaza, and efforts for a lasting peace based on a two-state solution.
The resolution has been submitted ahead of the upcoming UN summit, which Saudi Arabia and France will co-chair in New York on September 22.
French President Emmanuel Macron has announced that he will formally recognize Palestine as a state at the summit.
Several other world leaders have also signaled their willingness to recognize a Palestinian state in order to increase pressure on Israel to end the war in Gaza.
