The United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) has become a global arena for the Israel–Palestine conflict, marked by overwhelming votes supporting Palestine and growing international rifts. This comes amid a grim reality in Gaza and a controversial genocide finding by a UN inquiry.

• The General Assembly voted 145 in favour and 5 against to allow Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to address them via video after being denied a U.S. visa.
• Several close U.S. allies, including the U.K., Canada, and Australia, formally recognized the State of Palestine, angering Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
• A UN Human Rights Council Commission of Inquiry concluded that Israel's conduct in Gaza meets the legal threshold for genocide, a charge Israel rejects.
• The Palestinian death toll in Gaza has surpassed 65,000 since Israel's military campaign began, while the U.S. vetoed a Security Council resolution for a permanent Gaza ceasefire.
