United Nations Security Council Resolution 465

United Nations Security Council resolution 465, adopted unanimously on 1 March 1980, was on the issue of the Israeli settlements and administration in "the Arab territories occupied since 1967, including Jerusalem", referring to the Palestinian territories of the West Bank including East Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip as well as the Syrian Golan Heights.

It then ends by asking the commission to continue investigating the situation in the occupied territories with regard to depleted natural resources, while monitoring the implementation of the current resolution, asking it to report back to the council by 1 September 1980.

The resolution calls on all states 'not to provide Israel with any assistance to be used specifically in connection with settlements in the occupied territories'.

Ambassador to the UN Donald McHenry stated in the security Council immediately after the vote that the U.S. considered the resolution recommendatory and not binding.

[1] On 3 March 1980 President Carter clarified the US's position saying dismantling Israeli settlements is "neither proper nor practical" and that "Jerusalem should be undivided" with its status determined in peace negotiations.
