The United Nations Human Rights Council has passed three resolutions in condemnation of Israel’s “grave human rights violations” in the occupied Palestinian territories.
The United States, however, voted against the resolutions, which condemned Israel over its policies related to Palestinian and Syrian territories, Haaretz reported.
One of the resolutions which harshly denounced “human rights violations” by the Israeli military forces, called for an end to the occupation of Palestinian territories.
The resolution also demanded an end to all military operations across Palestinian lands and denounced “targeting of Palestinian civilians and systematic destruction of their cultural heritage.”
It also called on Israel to lift its three-year siege on the Gaza Strip.
