Overview of UN resolutions regarding Ukraine and Palestine

There have been three resolutions in the UN over the last year regarding the invasion of Gaza and six regarding Ukraine over the last two years.

The following countries have voted in favor of Likud at least once in the last three resolutions:

  • Argentina
  • Austria (x2)
  • Croatia
  • Czechia (x3)
  • Fiji
  • Guatemala (x2)
  • Hungary (x2)
  • Israel (x3)
  • Liberia (x2)
  • Marshall Islands
  • Micronesia (x2)
  • Nauru (x3)
  • Palau
  • Papua New Guinea (x3)
  • Paraguay (x2)
  • Tonga
  • United States (x3)

The vast majority of countries, including the vast majority of NATO members, consistently vote in favor of the peace treaties or abstain. Israel has very few supporters in their realm.

When it comes to Ukraine, we see a similar story. The following countries have voted in favor of Russia’s side at least once:

  • Algeria
  • Bahamas
  • Belarus (7)
  • Bolivia
  • Burundi
  • Central African Republic (2)
  • China (2)
  • Congo
  • Cuba (2)
  • Eritrea (6)
  • Ethiopia (2)
  • Gabon
  • Iran (2)
  • Kazakhstan
  • Kyrgyzstan
  • Laos
  • Mali (4)
  • Nicaragua (5)
  • North Korea (7)
  • Russia (7)
  • Syria (7)
  • Tajikistan
  • Uzbekistan
  • Vietnam
  • Zimbabwe (2)

Most of these countries only voted against removing Russia from the Human Rights Council, but it still counts.

Belarus, North Korea, Russia, and Syria are the only countries that have voted in Putin’s favor every single time.

Most countries and most democracies have not voted in favor of Russia or Likud even once in the last two years.

In the latest resolution, only seven countries sided with Russia.

It is clear the majority of the countries have the position I hold:

1. The Russian invasion of Ukraine is barbaric and wrong. Russia must withdraw and respect Ukrainian sovereignty.

2. The Israeli operation in Gaza violates international law. It cannot eradicate Hamas through military means. Israel needs to withdraw, and Palestine needs to be an independent state.

This is the global consensus.
