[Instant News/Comprehensive Report] The dispute between Israel and the Palestinian territories has lasted more than half a century.

The United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution on Friday local time to seek legal advice from the Supreme Court on Israel's occupation of the Palestinian territories.

Palestine sees it as a major victory, while Israel denounces being bound by the "despicable" vote.

"BBC" reported that the United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution with 87 votes in favor and 26 against, seeking legal advice from the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on the dispute over Israel's occupation of the Palestinian territories.

According to the powers of the ICJ, legal disputes can be adjudicated in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations and related conventions, but it has no coercive force on the parties concerned.

Since Israel occupied the West Bank and East Jerusalem in 1967, about 600,000 Jews live in about 140 settlements and consider the whole of Jerusalem as its capital.

Palestine claims that the West Bank and the Gaza Strip will be the territory of the future Palestinian state, with East Jerusalem as its capital.

Currently, only a handful of countries, including the United States, recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

The United States was also one of the members who voted against the above-mentioned vote.

Palestinian officials hailed the assembly's vote, saying "it is time to hold Israel accountable for its continuing crimes against the Palestinian people."

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (Benjamin Netanyahu), who only returned to the pot the day before, denounced the abhorrent results of the vote, "Jews in their own territory and the eternal capital of Jerusalem are not the so-called occupation. The United Nations resolutions cannot distort the real history."
