The test of the resolution was based on the International Court of Justice’s advisory opinion in July that Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory was illegal.

The resolution also calls on member states not to sell arms or military equipment to Israel that would be used in Gaza, the West Bank, and east Jerusalem.

Among the 43 countries that abstained were Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom. Some 12 of the 27 European Union countries abstained, including Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Lithuania, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Sweden.

I think it may be due to the "against" votes coming from the obvious places (Israel, USA) and a bunch of tiny places most people couldn't point in a map.

The "curious" ones for me are Panama and Argentina. Curious as in I wonder what their statements to vote against would be

Argentina is an obvious one. Milei is a giant US bootlicker.
