Antigua and Barbuda joined other Caribbean nations in overwhelmingly supporting a United Nations resolution condemning Israel’s continued illegal occupation of Palestinian territories.
The resolution, co-sponsored by Guyana, the State of Palestine, and over 20 other nations, demands that Israel end its “unlawful presence” within 12 months.
It also calls for an immediate halt to all new illegal settlement activities, evacuation of settlers from the Occupied Palestinian Territory, and the return of land seized since the occupation began in 1967, allowing displaced Palestinians to return to their homes.
Of the 16 Caribbean countries in the UN’s General Assembly, only Haiti and the Dominican Republic abstained from the vote. In total, 124 nations voted in favor of the resolution, while the US and Israel were among 14 countries that rejected it. Forty-three nations, many with strong ties to the US and Israel, abstained.
During the debate, St. Vincent and the Grenadines’ Ambassador to the UN, Inga King, expressed her country’s deep concern over the ongoing violence between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip, stating that it not only challenges international law but also the moral conscience of the global community.
She emphasized that the conflict is rooted in Israel’s illegal occupation and colonial practices, referencing a recent International Court of Justice opinion that deemed Israel’s continued presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory unlawful. King called for the application of international law to stop the violence and enable peaceful coexistence between Israel and Palestine.

Right now the world is at risk of Israel planting bomb in cell phones and other gadgets, like how they planted bombs in pagers and walkie talkie that killed and injured people in Lebanon.
What if someone from Lebanon was on a domestic flight when Israel had decided to designate these devices, the World is really in a terrible shape because of one superpower going making mischief and giving Israel the green light to do as they please.
This UN resolution not not going to happen, the US is going to veto it.
For the record, there are some in Antigua who believes that Israel is not occupying any land but their own.
We believe in our Bible and will not be guided by the thoughts of ‘demon possessed men and women’ but will be guided by the Almighty God.
All Praises to the Almighty God.
We all seem to conveniently forget that Jesus Christ was BORN and grew up in Judea, specifically Bethlehem and Nazareth (hence him being called Jesus of NAZARETH), now called the West Bank and supposedly occupied by Israel. This are is the biblical Judea-Samaria. Any good historian will know this and no amount of de-googling can change that. It has never been anything else. It’s a shame even Christians have been sucked into the international marketing campaign to declare this anything other than Israel. It won’t stop here either. The Arabs have a plan to declare East Jerusalem their capital. When has Jerusalem ever been anything but the capital of Israel?
And who exactly are the biblical Jews? Are they these people whose ancestry can be traced back to Eastern Europe?

@We Believe in The Almighty God – I wish you could stop referring to the Almighty God in situation like this, it is tantamount to calling his name in vain. With all the wickedness that is carried out by the Israeli, do you really want to put the name of God into it?
Sad, you have been blinded by your religious belief. You are one of those persons that could end up in the Jim Jones camp or the Waco Texas situation.
What makes you think that the Israeli are the real Jews? Don’t you remember that these folks were placed there from Germany because of the holocaust?
It is sad to see that our black people are still so fast asleep and still believe all the junk that was fed to them. The major players are about white supremacy and religious supremacy. If you are white and Christian or Jewish, you good to go. If you black and Muslim, dog better than you.
When Russia started taking action against Ukraine, countries were encourage to take in the people from Ukraine. Russia was considered the worst country and all sanctions were applied to it. How many civilians did Russia kill after years of war?
Israel has committed numerous War crimes, killed women and babies, bombed school, hospitals, killed journalist and the list goes on. Yet we continue to supply them with more weapons to finish the job. The people of Palestine are not welcomed anywhere, but we send a limited amount of food to keep them alive until the bombs that we give Israel is able to terminate them.
I am happy that we have a real leader in Antigua in the name of Gaston Browne. Thank you sir for leading the country in this direction.
