Resolution on Palestine

Recent developments in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict have drawn international attention and responses, notably from China, Pakistan, and various European nations. In Beijing, 14 Palestinian factions signed the Beijing Declaration, promoting national unity and a collective approach to resolving their ongoing struggles, with China advocating for a two-state solution and peace talks (China Daily). Meanwhile, the Pakistani National Assembly condemned the killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, calling for a ceasefire and humanitarian assistance for Palestinians, reflecting growing solidarity with their plight (Nation). Protests erupted in Washington D.C. during Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's visit, with labor unions and advocacy groups demanding an end to U.S. military support for Israel, citing escalating violence in Gaza (972 Magazine). In the West Bank, a sustainable farming initiative is emerging as a form of resistance against Israeli occupation, emphasizing food sovereignty amid increasing settler violence (YES!). Finally, the European Union's stance on Palestine reflects internal divisions, with some member states moving toward recognizing Palestinian statehood, contrasting with the EU's traditional support for Israel (Middle East Monitor).
