  1. “The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia calls on the Quartet to assume its responsibilities under the road map and to establish implementation mechanisms for it, including the deployment of an interposition force to separate the parties and guarantee their adherence to the road map.”

  2. “Given both the permanent international responsibility of the United Nations for the Palestinian question until such a time as it is resolved in all its aspects as well as the provisions of the Fourth Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia calls upon the Security Council to fully assume its responsibilities and discharge its obligations by asserting the illegitimacy of erecting such a wall and by calling for Israel to halt its construction immediately. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has called, and will continue to call, for the deployment of an international interposition force between Palestinians and Israelis. The situation in the Middle East should be no exception to the rule enforced in other parts of the world to separate warring parties.”

  3. “Israel would not have continued its injustices and aggression had the Security Council assumed its responsibilities to preserve international peace and security. Israel would not have continued to ignore and disdain the Security Council and the United Nations had it not been for the practice of double standards. Israel would not have continued its policy of colonialism and the building of additional settlements had it not been assured that it had political protection and that no economic sanctions would be imposed upon it such as the ones imposed upon other States.”

  4. “It is thus clear that the purpose of this racist wall is not to ensure security, as insolently claimed by Israel, but to confiscate more land, and to humiliate and oppress the Palestinian people creating conditions making it difficult or impossible for them to live within their own country and on their own land. Probably the best evidence of this is set out in the report of the Special Rapporteur of the Commission on Human Rights, John Dugard, which states that "The evidence strongly suggests that Israel is determined to create facts on the ground amounting to de facto annexation" (E/CN.4/2004/6, summary), and that "Israel's action in the [occupied Palestinian territory] is so remote from the interests of security that it assumes the character of punishment, humiliation and conquest [of the Palestinian people]" (ibid., para. 5).”

  5. “That plan seeks to erase and completely abolish the Green Line in several areas and to annex the Israeli settlements to Israel, creating narrow alleys between cities and other populated Palestinian areas, which the Israeli Government views as separate cantons that will be controlled by Israel, which will allow the Palestinians to manage their own internal affairs, so that Israel will be spared the burden of a foreign population. The first phase of the construction of the wall, comprising 90 kilometres from Jenin to Qalqilya, has been completed and has devoured one third of the West Bank. The eastern wall will extend from Ain al-Baydat through Toubas to Jericho. Thus, the map of the four cantons will be completed in the West Bank. This will isolate some 250,000 Palestinians in real prisons from which they cannot move.”

  6. “Yet the unjust occupier and oppressor who has usurped all the rights of others is allowed to enjoy the right of self-defence to further its colonialism and entrench its occupation. The racist separation wall - which the Palestinians consider the third tragedy, or nakba - the construction of which began in 2002 under the pretext of maintaining security, is in fact part of Ariel Sharon's plan, which dates back to the 1970s and which he began implementing in the 1980s with the Seven Stars settlement plan.”

  7. “Mr. Al-Badi (Saudi Arabia) (spoke in Arabic): The serious and bloody events taking place in the occupied Palestinian territories confirm the aggressive nature of Israel, which is seeking to create pretexts to further its settler colonialism and to expand, in order to usurp and Judaize more Palestinian territories and to create new conditions which are impossible for the Palestinians to accept or live with. Anyone who resists occupation, rejects humiliation and indignity, finds all the roads closed before him and is left with nothing but self-sacrifice is called a "terrorist" and must be condemned. Furthermore, his clan and his relatives must be punished and penalized.”
