Summary

In later years, Israel’s relationship with the United Nations changed. After occupation by Israel in 1967 of the two sectors of Palestine that had remained beyond its control in 1949, the General Assembly and Security Council challenged Israel over its claim to sovereignty in Jerusalem and over its promotion of settlement by its citizens in these areas. Israel was denounced as a racist state by Third World countries, and the General Assembly adopted a resolution pronouncing Zionism to be racist. The Palestine Liberation Organization accepted Israel as a state and said that it respected Israel’s right to exist in peace. When the prospect of Israel–Palestine negotiations arose, the General Assembly rescinded its resolution on Zionist as being racist.
