United Nations General Assembly Resolution ES-10/23 is a resolution of the tenth emergency special session of the United Nations General Assembly which upgrades Palestine's rights in the United Nations as an Observer State, without offering full membership. It urged the Security Council to give "favourable consideration" to Palestine's request. According to the resolution, the Palestinian mission will now have the right to sit in the General Assembly among other states in alphabetical order, rather than in its current observer seat at the back of the chamber. But the resolution also makes plain that "the State of Palestine, in its capacity as an observer State, does not have the right to vote in the General Assembly or to put forward its candidature to United Nations organs".

The resolution passed with 143 countries voting in favour, 25 abstaining, 16 non-voting, and nine voting against. The nine countries that opposed the resolution were Argentina, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Israel, Micronesia, Nauru, Palau, Papua New Guinea and the United States.^[1][2][3]
