EU ‘Breaks Ranks’ With Israel Over
Gaza ‘Genocide’; Votes To Recognize Palestine
Times of India

(September 12, 2025) — In a dramatic move, the European Parliament passed a non-binding resolution titled “Gaza at Breaking Point,” calling for urgent EU action to combat famine, release Israeli hostages, and recommit to a two-state solution.

The vote passed with 305 in favour, 151 against, and 122 abstentions. MEPs demanded immediate aid access, called on EU states to recognize Palestine, and backed sanctions on violent Israeli settlers — including far-right ministers Smotrich and Ben-Gvir.

The resolution also supports suspending bilateral support to Israel and parts of the EU-Israel Association Agreement. This comes as Commission President Ursula von der Leyen faces two no-confidence motions over her handling of Gaza and broader transparency concerns.

(September 13, 2025) — The United Nations General Assembly overwhelmingly approved the “New York Declaration” on Friday, reviving the push for a two-state solution between Israel and Palestine. The resolution passed with 142 votes in favor, 10 against, and 12 abstentions. Israel and the United States led the opposition, while India voted in support.

The declaration, presented by France and Saudi Arabia, calls for tangible, time-bound, and irreversible steps toward establishing a Palestinian state. It also demands Hamas release all Israeli captives, end its rule in Gaza, and hand over control to the Palestinian Authority to achieve peace and sovereignty.
