The resolution, approved at UN headquarters in New York last week, asks that the "urgently" weigh in on Israel's "prolonged occupation, settlement and annexation of the Palestinian territory", which it said were violating the to self-determination.

Israel "expressed its dissatisfaction" with Ukraine's decision to vote in favour of the resolution in a conversation with Ambassador Yevgen Korniychuk, according to a statement released by the Israeli foreign ministry on Tuesday.

The resolution was adopted by the UN's decolonization committee after a vote, with 98 countries voting in support, 17 against and 52 abstentions.

At the committee's meeting on Thursday, the US deputy representative to the United Nations, which voted against the resolution, said that an ICJ advisory opinion was "counterproductive and will only take the parties further away from the objective we all share of a negotiated two-state solution".
