TL;DR Summary

Palestinians are hoping for widespread global support in the UN General Assembly vote on a nonbinding resolution demanding an immediate humanitarian cease-fire to end the Israel-Hamas war. After the US vetoed a similar resolution in the Security Council, Arab and Islamic nations called for the emergency session. While General Assembly resolutions are not legally binding, they reflect world opinion. The defeated Security Council resolution was cosponsored by 103 countries, and the Palestinians are hoping for more cosponsors and a high vote in the General Assembly.
