Palestine has welcomed the United Nation General Assembly's adoption of four resolutions in favor of Palestine, including one deeming the Israeli settlements in the Palestinian territories illegal.

Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad Al-Maliki said in a press statement that Palestine welcomed the UN vote in favor of the resolution and the international support in this regard.

He added the positive results came in light of Israel's systematic violations against our people's rights and its lack of commitment to international law.

Al-Maliki added that these decisions affirm the legitimate rights of Palestinian people, foremost of which is the right to self-determination and the right of Palestinian refugees to return to their homes.
