The Palestinian Authority on Wednesday was able to push a series of anti-Israel resolutions at the United Nations but the move garnered less support than usual, perhaps indicating that the international body may be starting to shake off its bias against the Jewish state.

The move, led by Ramallah annually, usually garners massive support from UN member-states, but this year, the vote noted an increase in the number of states that either opposed the resolutions or abstained in the vote.

The resolutions were drafted by the General Assembly's Palestinian Rights Committee, dedicated to promoting the Palestinian narrative with regards to the regional conflict.

This year, however, they were opposed by Germany, Austria, Bulgaria, Slovenia, Switzerland, and Papua New Guinea, as well as other countries that in previous years had abstained.

Iceland, Singapore, Eritrea, and Uruguay, which in the past voted in favor of such resolutions, chose to abstain this time.

In addition, there was also a decline in the support for a resolution condemning Israeli presence in the Golan Heights. A resolution focusing on setting parameters for resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict also proved less popular than in the past.

Israeli Ambassador to the UN Gilad Erdan expressed his appreciation of Israel's supporters, saying, "This sends a clear message to the UN against its discrimination of Israel.

"No other country in the world is discriminated against in international bodies as Israel is. It is time for more countries to join our struggle to change the anti-Israel agenda at the UN."

Erdan stressed that the fact that the resolutions passed "changes nothing on the ground. All it does is perpetuate Palestinian rejectionism and their illusions.

"If anything, these resolutions reflect the fact that the UN is detached from reality. Every year the [UN member-] states repeat the same old slogans touted by the Palestinians and vote for the same resolutions despite the fact they are detached from reality, thus proving that they want to appease the Palestinians more than they want to resolve the conflict," he asserted.
