The emergency special session of the 10th UN General Assembly was a meeting on the Palestinian-Israeli issue. It was held in April 1997 and was adjourned several times. On June 12 this year, the emergency special session of the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution calling for an immediate and unconditional permanent ceasefire between the parties to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, demanding that Israel immediately lift restrictions on humanitarian aid access to Gaza and immediately end the blockade of the Gaza Strip.

According to CCTV News, a poll released on August 20 showed that most Americans support the international community's recognition of the Palestinian state and believe that Israel uses excessive force in the Palestinian Gaza Strip.

According to a Reuters poll released on August 20, 58% of Americans surveyed believe that all UN member states should recognize a Palestinian state, while 33% hold the opposite opinion.

Fifty-nine percent of Americans believe Israel is using excessive force in Gaza, up 6 percentage points from a survey last February.

65% of the respondents believe that the United States should take action to provide help to Gaza people facing famine, while 28% do not support doing so. Of those who disagree, more than 40% are Republican supporters.

Since the outbreak of a new round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict on October 7, 2023, Israel's military operations in the Gaza Strip have killed more than 60,000 Palestinians, and the Gaza Strip has plunged into a serious humanitarian crisis. In this process, Israel received the support of the United States, but it was increasingly isolated internationally. A group of western allies of the United States, including Britain, France, Canada and Australia, recently announced plans to recognize the Palestinian state at or before the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly in September.
