India was among 91 nations that voted in favor of a UN resolution demanding Israel withdraw from the occupied Golan Heights on Tuesday. Captured from Syria during 1967's Six-Day War, Israel annexed the territory in 1981, a move not recognized internationally. The resolution called on Israel to revert control of the strategic area back to pre-1967 borders in line with Security Council directives. Key Asian nations including China, Pakistan, and Bangladesh also voted yes, while the US, UK, and Canada opposed the measure. Sixty-two countries including France and Germany abstained. The result highlighted deep divides but gave momentum to calls for Israel to end its decades-long occupation.
