If Israel supporters such as UK vote against this in enough numbers and they are technically allowed to participate will the countries that have announced boycotts still refuse to participate?

The BBC will abstain thanks to their charter. It’s the broadcasters not countries voting.

In this context - with the need for a 75% majority to carry the motion - will an abstention be, in effect, the same as a vote against?
