A total of 20 decisions are scheduled to be voted on, including condemnations Jewish settlements in the West Bank, a call for Israel to withdraw from the West Bank, East Jerusalem and the Golan Heights, the return of Palestinian exiles - including to within Israel's borders, and condemnation of Israel for changing the character of Jerusalem, disrupting the status quo on the Temple Mount, and deliberate provocations.
