UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The U.N. General Assembly has voted overwhelmingly to support a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestinian conflict. It also urges Israel to commit to a Palestinian state, which Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vehemently opposes. The 193-member world body approved a nonbinding resolution endorsing the “New York Declaration,” which sets out a phased plan to end the nearly 80-year conflict. The vote on Friday was 142-10 with 12 abstentions. The nearly two-year war in Gaza and the broader Israeli-Palestinian conflict are expected to be at the top of the agenda of world leaders at their annual gathering at the General Assembly starting on Sept. 22.
