In another patently anti-Israeli resolution, the majority of the General Assembly again reaffirmed that all Israeli measures in the territories under its administration are illegal. It called upon all states and international organizations not to cooperate, recognize or assist Israel in any way to exploit the resources of the administered areas. The resolution was adopted by 109 in favour, 3 against with 26 abstentions. Text:
