Nigeria, 150 other countries adopt UN resolution supporting Palestinian sovereignty over natural resources

India has supported the United Nations General Assembly's (UNGA) resolution on the permanent sovereignty of the Palestinian people in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and the Arab population in the occupied Syrian Golan over their natural resources. The resolution, proposed by Uruguay, received overwhelming support from the 193-member body, with India voting in favor along with 150 other UN Member States.

Only Israel, the U.S., and seven other nations voted against the resolution, which emphasized the need for Israel to cease the exploitation, damage, and depletion of natural resources in the occupied territories.
