Aftermath

Israel made revocation of resolution 3379 a condition of its participation in the Madrid Peace Conference of 1991. Resolution 3379 was revoked in 1991 by UN General Assembly Resolution 4686.

The name of "The UN avenue" in Haifa, Jerusalem and Tel Aviv was switched to "The Zionism avenue" as a response to the UN's decision.

In Campbell, California, in the United States, a group of high school students attempted to solicit signatures on the premises of a local shopping center for a petition against Resolution 3379. The result was the landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision in Pruneyard Shopping Center v. Robins (1980).

Mexico's vote in favor of the resolution led some United States Jews to organize a tourism boycott of Mexico, which ended when Mexican foreign minister Emilio Óscar Rabasa made a trip to Israel (Rabasa shortly afterwards was forced to resign).
