ABSTRACT UN General Assembly (UNGA) voting is non-binding, unlike voting in the Security Council (UNSC), yet is considered to reflect states’ interests. This article attempts to explore, compare, and explain patterns in UNGA voting of two regional organisations (ROs) on Israel-related resolutions, and/or issues that are of importance to Israel. Israel has been a unique case when it comes to the UN, which has shown pervasive hostility towards the Jewish state over the past decades (e.g. 83 of the 97 UNGA resolutions criticising countries in 2012–15 [or 86%] were directed against Israel). While most researchers agree that ROs differ in the level of their group vote uniformity, this article argues that states’ voting on resolutions related to Israel also varies within ROs and over time. As such, it sheds light on internal changes within the examined ROs (the Arab League and the EU) and shows important differences among members of these organisations.

一票难求？欧盟和阿拉伯联盟联合国大会以色列投票

摘要 联合国大会 (UNGA) 的投票不具有约束力，与安理会 (UNSC) 的投票不同，但被认为反映了国家的利益。本文试图探索、比较和解释联合国大会对与以色列有关的决议和/或对以色列具有重要意义的问题的两个区域组织 (RO) 投票的模式。就联合国而言，以色列一直是一个独特的案例，在过去的几十年里，它对这个犹太国家表现出普遍的敌意（例如，2012-15 年联合国大会 97 项批评国家的决议中有 83 项 [或 86%] 是针对以色列的） . 虽然大多数研究人员都同意 RO 的群体投票统一程度不同，但本文认为各州对与以色列有关的决议的投票也在 RO 内和随着时间的推移而变化。因此，
