Palestinian resistance movement Hamas has hailed a resolution by the UN General Assembly that affirms the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination.

167 countries voted in favor of the resolution, 5 countries voted against, and 7 countries abstained.

Ahmad Tamimi, head of the department, said at a press conference to launch the petition and invite people and institutions to sign it that the campaign aims at Israel and its crimes against the Palestinian people and the international community for its double standard in covering up the crimes of the Israeli occupation.
