Thailand Endorses UN Vote Supporting Two-State Palestine Solution

Thailand recently cast its vote in favor of a UN General Assembly resolution promoting a two-state solution for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, aligning with 142 other member states. The December 2024 resolution urged Israel to halt settlement expansion and reaffirmed the call for Palestinian statehood. On September 12, Thailand supported another declaration pushing for concrete, time-bound steps toward establishing a Palestinian government free from Hamas. The vote outcome was 142 in favor, 10 against, and 12 abstentions, showing strong international consensus. Although Thailand has long supported a negotiated peace, observers note it plays more of a supportive than leadership role on Middle East diplomacy, consistent with ASEAN and Global South alignment.
