“The draft resolution is in the negotiation process and it is expected to be tabled at the UN General Assembly for approval soon,” Malaysian News Agency quoted Ibrahim as saying Monday during a session of the Malaysian Parliament.

He added that once approved, the resolution is expected to be a legal basis for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) to continue providing aid for the Palestinians in the occupied Palestinian territories and in other countries.

On October 31, 2024, Malaysia became a member of the Core Group tasked with preparing a resolution requesting an Advisory Opinion from the International Court of Justice (ICJ) regarding Israel’s obligation to allow United Nations organizations to conduct their activities.

their effort to keep Taiwan out

Lmao. Does California get its own UN seat next? Maybe Alaska while we're at it

Remind me again: What legislative power does China hold over Taiwan? And can the Brits reclaim their former territory too?

It is recognized as a part of China by almost every country on earth including the US (despite its endless shit stirring on all fronts, all they're good for nowadays). The ROC, by the way, also claims mainland China and itself to be the same territory, and their constitution reflects that too, what they disagree on is whether they're the legitimate government of all of China or the PRC is.

If you think Taiwan is the legitimate government of all of China you need to come back to the real world from wherever the state department lured you into.

Neither the PRC nor the ROC control both China and Taiwan. There is China and there is Taiwan. The realities on the ground reflect that.
