Mansour said that this high number of positive votes proves that the vast majority of the countries in this world support the Palestinian right to independence and self-determination. The United Nations General Assembly has 193 member states.

Besides affirming the Palestinian right to self-determination and establishing an independent Palestinian State, the resolution urges all countries, and related organizations, especially UN organizations, to continue their support to the Palestinian people and to help them in achieving their independence.

The resolution also affirms the need to resume the peace process between Israel and the Palestinians, and calls on all countries to help in creating peace in the Middle East; peace that is based on the Land for Peace principle, the Arab Peace Initiative, and the Road Map Peace Plan.

It states that a solution to the conflict must be based on the two-state solution, and calls for achieving a comprehensive and just peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinians.

Furthermore, the resolution referred to the advisory ruling of the International Court, on July 9 2004, in which the court stated that the Annexation Wall Israel is building in the occupied territories, including around occupied East Jerusalem, is illegal, and that all Israeli measures taken in the occupied territories severely hinder the efforts to achieve self-determination and independence.
