Security Council resolutions, particularly resolution 2334, condemn all Israeli measures aimed at changing the demographic composition, character and status of the occupied Palestinian territories since 1967, including al-Quds, and also include the International Court of Justice’s advisory opinion confirming the illegality of Israel’s occupation of Palestinian land and the invalidity of its settlement construction and annexation measures in the occupied West Bank.

Meanwhile, the Leaders welcome the International Court of Justice’s Advisory Opinion of 22 October 2025 on Israel’s obligations in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. The Court reaffirmed Israel’s obligations under international humanitarian law to ensure that the inhabitants of the OPT, including Gaza, have access to the necessities of daily life, and to agree to and facilitate in every possible way the relief programs at its disposal on behalf of the inhabitants. through the United Nations and its agencies, particularly the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA);
The Court recalled that Israel had blocked aid to the Gaza Strip, confirmed Israel’s obligation to respect the prohibition on the use of starvation, which also includes the imposition of intolerable living conditions, and reaffirmed the prohibition on mass forced removals and deportations. The court further recalled that Israel’s territorial claim to East Jerusalem had been declared “null and void” by the Security Council, and reaffirmed the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination and an independent state. This includes the “Law to Suspend UNRWA’s Activities in the Territory of the State of Israel,” which is said to apply to East Jerusalem.
They warn against the continuation of Israel’s unilateral and illegal policies and practices and call on the international community to take legal and moral responsibility and force Israel to end its dangerous escalation and illegal measures in the occupied Palestinian territories, and to defend the legitimate right of the Palestinian people to establish an independent and sovereign state along the lines of June 4, 1967, with East Jerusalem as its capital. It is the only path to achieving a just and inclusive peace that ensures regional security and stability.
