Hamas welcomes UNGA resolution affirming Palestinians’ right to self-determination

OCCUPIED JERUSALEM  (Palestine Foundation Information Center) Hamas welcomed the UN General Assembly’s adoption of a resolution affirming the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination and called for translating UN resolutions into effective steps that would end the occupation and enable the establishment of the Palestinian State.

Hamas said in a statement on Wednesday, “We welcome the UN General Assembly’s adoption of a resolution affirming the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination, with a majority of 172 states in favor.”

The resolution is considered an expression of global solidarity and belief in the justice of the Palestinian cause, which manifests a widespread rejection of the occupation and its criminal policies backed by the US administration that denies the rights of the Palestinian people, the statement added.
