An early pilot · A community project
QADIYA is an independent, noncommercial community project: an archive of Palestine’s history, built for the cause and open to everyone.
This is an early pilot. Its records were gathered with AI help from cited sources and are still being checked, so don’t rely on them yet, and tell us if something is wrong.
We’re looking for people and organisations to build it with us: historians, archivists, translators, designers, developers, and partners who can support the work.

A licensed photograph, with its credit, is added after review; never a generated likeness.On 29 November 2012 the UN General Assembly, by 138 votes to 9 with 41 abstentions, accorded Palestine the status of a non-member observer State, reaffirming the Palestinian people’s right to independence in their State of Palestine on the territory occupied since 1967.
In resolution 67/19 the Assembly reaffirmed the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination and to independence in their State of Palestine on the Palestinian territory occupied since 1967, and decided to accord Palestine non-member observer State status, without prejudice to the rights and role of the PLO as the representative of the Palestinian people. It expressed the hope that the Security Council would consider favourably the State of Palestine’s application of 23 September 2011 for full membership. Among the resolutions it recalls is resolution 181, adopted on the same day in 1947.1
Link to this chapterThe resolution passed by 138 votes to nine, with 41 abstentions. Before the vote, President Mahmoud Abbas told the Assembly that the Palestinians had not come to delegitimise Israel but to affirm the legitimacy of a state that must now achieve its independence. Israel’s ambassador, Ron Prosor, called the resolution one-sided and said the only route to Palestinian statehood ran through direct negotiations.2
