Observance of the 2025 International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People.



Every year on the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, UN Member States stand together in a moment of reflection and renewed commitment to peace. This year's commemoration will take place amid a fragile ceasefire in Gaza following unimaginable violence and a humanitarian catastrophe that has claimed the lives of tens of thousands and forcibly displaced hundreds of thousands more.

  • Secretary-General's remarks, to be delivered by Mr. Courtenay Rattray, Chef de Cabinet

Solidarity Day commemorates the adoption on 29 November 1947 of General Assembly Resolution 181, which envisaged the partition of Mandate Palestine into two states - one Arab and one Jewish - with Jerusalem under United Nations administration. Over seven decades later, after numerous wars and ongoing conflict, the hope for lasting peace in the Middle East remains unfulfilled. Today, the need for a durable solution is more urgent than ever.

On this solemn day, the international community, led by the UN Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People, gathers for an expression of profound solidarity. The Committee special meeting, to be held at the UN headquarters in New York, ECOSOC Chamber on 25 November (10 a.m. to 1 p.m.), will offer an opportunity for Member States, regional organizations and civil society to share messages of solidarity with the Palestinian people.

Location: 405 E 45th St, New York, NY 10017, USA
