The UN, the Palestinians, Israel and a stalled two-state solution

Since the UN’s 1947 partition of Palestine into Jewish and Arab states, it has played a crucial role in Palestinian affairs, aiming to revive the two-state solution. Key events include the 1948 Nakba, the 1967 Resolution 242 calling for Israeli withdrawal, the 1993 Oslo Accords, and recent US vetoes on Palestinian statehood requests despite global recognition of Palestine by numerous UN members.
