🇺🇳🇮🇱🇵🇸 Israel and Palestine are the focus of attention of the regular ordinary sessions of the UN General Assembly every year, and more than a dozen resolutions are adopted on the issue on an annual basis. 

The 10th Emergency Special Session of the UN General Assembly dedicated to Israel and Palestine, which was held several years after the previous meeting, and its adoption of resolution A/RES/ES-10/21 “Protection of civilians and upholding legal and humanitarian obligations” returned to the agenda the question of the global balance of power and how countries stood with respect to this issue.

In this regard, it is interesting to both analyse the results of voting by countries on this resolution, and compare them with previous votes on the topic, writes Valdai Club Programme Director Oleg Barabanov.

📆 ANNOUNCEMENT: On November 27 at 12:00 Moscow Time (GMT+3), the Valdai Club will host an expert discussion dedicated to the Asian perspective on the Middle East crisis.

The sharp escalation of the Arab-Israeli conflict has become the main event of late 2023, pushing the conflicts in the South Caucasus and Europe into the background. Its political significance extends far beyond the Middle East region. International relations, including in Asia, will now depend on how the Middle East crisis develops further.

More than half of the total Muslim population lives in the Asia-Pacific region. How will the Arab-Israeli conflict affect the politics of the Asia-Pacific countries?

❓How does the prospect of an aggravation of the Arab-Israeli conflict threaten international security?
❓How do states in South Asia and the Asia-Pacific region perceive the Middle East crisis?
❓Which Asian countries could be involved in the conflict?
❓What might be their role in the settlement?

Participants in the discussion will try to answer these and other questions.

🎙️ Speakers:

🇮🇳 Rakesh Bhadauria, Major General (ret.), Director of the Centre for Strategic Studies and Modelling, Joint Institute for Defence Studies of India (New Delhi)

🇮🇩 Rahakundini Bakrie Connie, Lecturer at Jenderal Achmad Yani University, Indonesia
