In addition to demanding withdrawal, the resolution urges member states to cease importing products from Israeli settlements and halt the transfer of arms to Israel, where there is a risk of use in Palestinian territories.
The International Court of Justice also ordered Israel to open the Rafah crossing to let the humanitarian aid in through Egypt. The order was adopted by a 15 international judges bench with a majority of 13-2. The only two judges who opposed the order were from Uganda and Israel itself.
The legally binding final ruling was the first of two expected decisions from the International Court of Justice linked to the decade-long conflict between Russia and Ukraine that exploded into an all-out war almost two years ago.
In the highly anticipated decision made by a panel of 17 judges, the International Court of Justice decided not to throw out the case, and ordered six so-called provisional measures to protect Palestinians in Gaza.
Meanwhile, reacting to the major development, Ukrainian Foreign Minister, Dmytro Kuleba, applauded the ICC step and accused President Putin of committing war crimes against children.
Asked for his reaction to the judgement, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman, Zhao Lijian told a media briefing on Thursday that "the judges of the court performed the duty independently. I won't comment on that".
Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Ali Muhammad Khan introduced the bill in the House, after which the Senate Chairman Sadiq Sanjrani referred the bill to the Standing Committee on Law and Justice, reported Geo News.
The Supreme Court of India has rejected a plea filed by a Madurai resident seeking direction to the Centre to drag China to the International Court of Justice (ICJ). The resident wanted the govt to drag China to the ICJ and seek damages worth $600 Billion for spreading COVID-19.
The London-based International Council of Jurists has urged the UN Human Rights Council to make China pay "exemplary damages" for its "grave offences against humanity", alleging the coronavirus pandemic is primarily a conspiracy of Beijing to catapult itself as a superpower.

Pakistan has been left red-faced, yet again. Khawar Qureshi, the country's lawyer in the International Court of Justice (ICJ), has openly admitted that there is no significant evidence with Pakistan for its claims of genocide in Kashmir.
Kulbhushan Jadhav: Pakistan on Sunday said that it will provide consular access to Kulbhushan Jadhav on Monday (September 2). Pakistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that the consular access will be provided "...in line with Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, International Court of Justice (ICJ) judgement & the laws of Pakistan." The ministry was quoted by news agency ANI.
Making a statement in Rajya Sabha, he said the verdict of the International Court of Justice is not only a vindication for Jadhav but also for all those who believe in the rule of law. In a major victory for India, the International Court of Justice on Wednesday ruled that Pakistan must review the death sentence for Jadhav, who has been sentenced to death by a Pakistani military court on charges of "espionage and terrorism".
The Congress on Wednesday described the International Court of Justice's order restraining Pakistan from hanging Kulbhushan Jadhav as a unanimous verdict saying it has "delivered justice in the true sense".
India on Wednesday said that it expects Pakistan to implement the International Court of Justice (ICJ) direction to allow consular access to Kulbhushan Jadhav and said that it will work vigorously for his early release and return to India.
The Pakistani military court sentenced Jadhav to death on charges of "espionage and terrorism" after a closed trial in April 2017.
The ICJ, in a statement early this month, said a public sitting would take place at 3 pm (6.30 pm IST) today at the Peace Palace in The Hague, during which top judge Abdulqawi Ahmed Yusuf will read out the verdict.
Pakistan claims that its security forces arrested Jadhav from restive Balochistan province on March 3, 2016 after he reportedly entered from Iran. However, India maintains that Jadhav was kidnapped from Iran where he had business interests after retiring from the Navy.
Although the majority decision by the international court of justice in The Hague is only advisory, the decision will affect the international standing of the already isolated nation.
The ICJ is expected to deliver its verdict in the summer of 2019.
