Dominica joined 120 countries at the United Nations General Assembly in supporting a resolution calling for an immediate, durable, and sustained humanitarian truce between Israeli forces and Hamas militants in Gaza. The resolution condemns all acts of violence against Palestinian and Israeli civilians, including acts of terror, indiscriminate attacks, provocation, incitement, and destruction.
 
It was adopted after a rejected amendment by Canada, which called for an unequivocal condemnation of the October 7 "terrorist attack" by Hamas. The resolution calls for the immediate and unconditional release of all civilians being illegally held captive and calls for supplies to enter the Gaza Strip. It also calls on Israel to cancel its demand for Palestinians in the north of Gaza to relocate to the south and emphasizes the need for all parties to exercise maximum restraint.
 
The resolution reaffirms that a just and lasting solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict can only be achieved through peaceful means, based on relevant United Nations resolutions, international law, and the two-state solution. The resolution is non-binding and carries no legal weight, but it provides an idea of the rest of the world's thoughts on the ongoing conflict.
