United Nations Security Council

List of United Nations resolutions concerning Israel refers to the United Nations (UN) resolutions that have been adopted by the UN's various bodies, most notably the United Nations General Assembly and the United Nations Security Council, concerning the state of Israel, its actions, policies, and conflicts with neighboring countries and Palestinian territories. Since the establishment of Israel in 1948, it has been the subject of numerous UN resolutions.

Background[edit | edit source]

The State of Israel was established on May 14, 1948, following the end of the British Mandate for Palestine. This led to the first Arab-Israeli War, which resulted in Israel expanding its territory beyond the partition plan proposed by the UN. The conflict between Israel and its Arab neighbors, as well as the Palestinian issue, has been a central point of contention in international politics, leading to numerous resolutions by the United Nations.

Controversies and Criticisms[edit | edit source]

The UN's focus on Israel has been a subject of controversy and criticism. Some argue that the UN has an undue focus on Israel, citing the large number of resolutions against Israel compared to other countries. Critics also argue that this focus reflects a bias in the UN against Israel, potentially fueled by the geopolitical interests of member states.

Impact[edit | edit source]

The resolutions concerning Israel have had varying degrees of impact. Some, like Resolution 242, have become cornerstones of subsequent peace negotiations. Others have been largely symbolic, reflecting the international community's stance on certain issues but having limited practical impact.
