UN General Assembly 2025: Pakistan, Bangladesh specify 'pre-1967' borders for Palestine

During the United Nations General Assembly, the leaders of Pakistan and Bangladesh specified their conditions for Palestinian statehood. Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif called for a Palestinian state based on "pre-1967 borders" with "al-Quds al-Sharif as its capital." This specific declaration contrasts with many western nations that have recognized Palestine without defining its territory. These speeches followed a large walkout by delegates during Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's address, and also included Ireland calling for Israel to be diplomatically isolated.
