International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People was observed on Friday.

In 1977, the United Nations General Assembly had called for the annual observance of 29th November as the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People.

In his message on the day, UN Secretary-General António Guterres said only constructive negotiations between the parties will bring about a durable solution of two states. 

He said Israeli settlement activities in the Occupied Palestinian territories have no legal validity.
