  1. “In conclusion, the State of Kuwait reiterates its commitment to the Arab position, which affirms that peace is the strategic option and that a just, lasting and comprehensive peace has to be based on the two-State solution, in accordance with the agreed terms of reference, consisting of the relevant Security Council resolutions, the principle of land for peace, the road map and the Arab Peace Initiative, leading to the Palestinian people obtaining their legitimate political rights in full and the establishment of an independent Palestinian State on their own land, with East Jerusalem as its capital.”

  2. “We have pursued contacts with friends and allies and taken part alongside our brothers in meetings of the League of Arab States and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation at which statements and resolutions have been adopted calling upon, inter alia, the United Nations, including the Security Council, to shoulder its legal, moral and humanitarian responsibilities to bring an immediate end to Israeli aggression, provide international protection for the Palestinian people, uphold their right to freedom of worship, preserve peace and security in the region and ensure that the Israeli occupation authorities do not implement their despicable schemes and impose a fait accompli that flies in the face of resolutions of international legitimacy and violates international law.”

  3. “The State of Kuwait affirms once more its total rejection of all illegal settlement schemes in the occupied Palestinian territories, including East Jerusalem, and stresses that these settlements are null and void under international law and Security Council resolutions. Since the start of the latest Israeli outrages, the State of Kuwait has spared no effort to mitigate the suffering of the fraternal Palestinian people.”

  4. “The eviction of the residents of Shaykh Jarrah in East Jerusalem is a crime and blatant violation of international law, especially as East Jerusalem is a part of the occupied Palestinian territories, to which the Fourth Geneva Convention (1949) applies. As such, the occupying Power must respect its obligation to protect private property in the occupied territories; it may not confiscate private property. We are standing at a critical crossroads, where any just and comprehensive resolution of the central issue of the Arab and Islamic nations is in danger of being undermined. We are confronted with rapidly-unfolding plans that are not confined to expanding illegal settlements or seizing Palestinian land and property but seek to Judaize East Jerusalem, the Old City in particular, and empty it of its Palestinian inhabitants.”

  5. “Regrettably, we all saw Israeli occupation forces storming the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound a few days ago and targeting worshippers. Alongside illegal settlers, occupation forces continue to target women and children without mercy and seize property. Its policies and practices confirm yet again that Israel seeks to consolidate the occupation and has no desire to reach a just and comprehensive peace agreement. The outrageous crimes committed by Israeli occupation forces are part of a series of crimes and violations committed by Israel, the occupying Power, in breach of Security Council resolutions 242 (1967), 338 (1973), 476 (1980), 478 (1980) and 2334 (2016). These resolutions affirm that the special status of Jerusalem may not be violated and declare null and void any measure designed to change the city’s character.”

  6. “It further condemns and denounces all illegal Israeli settlement schemes and attempts to confiscate Palestinian houses and property, specifically the property of Jerusalemites resident in the Shaykh Jarrah neighbourhood, in an effort to evict them and empty the Holy City of its inhabitants in order to Judaize it and alter the facts on the ground. Kuwait holds these to be illegal and unlawful acts that represent a flagrant violation of international resolutions and terms of reference. It affirms that all unilateral measures and decisions that seek to change the existing legal and historical status of the Occupied Palestinian Territories are null and void, neither creating a right nor giving rise to any obligation.”

  7. “The Security Council is meeting today to discuss the situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian question, at a time when the international community is following with growing anxiety the grave escalation in the Palestinian territories, including East Jerusalem, in the wake of the outrageous crimes committed by Israel, the occupying Power, against the Palestinian people. The State of Kuwait reaffirms its vigorous condemnation of the outrageous crimes committed by the Israeli occupation forces in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, including the city of Jerusalem.”
