  1. “The aspirations of the Palestinian people have always been addressed to this international body so that they may be protected from the inhuman, illegal and arbitrary practices of successive Israeli Governments. Therefore, the Security Council, in the context of the Year of International Solidarity with the Palestinian People, must compel Israel to cease and desist in those policies that destroy any peace process that would lead to a just and lasting peace in the Middle East. We call on it to accept the Arab Peace Initiative and begin true negotiations in order to achieve peace based on the Initiative and resolutions of the Security Council.”

  2. “We call on the international community as represented in the Security Council to continue to make efforts to put an end to the suffering of the Syrian people. In his latest report, the Joint Special Representative informs us that the number of refugees outside Syrian borders will reach 4 million by the end of this year if the crisis were to continue. The number of victims in the next two years may well reach 350,000. There is no alternative to a peaceful political settlement of the crisis. The Group appeals to the international community to make more immediate efforts to stop the war machine in Syria, protect civilians and facilitate the delivery of emergency humanitarian assistance to those who need it.”

  3. “We condemn the continuing Israeli violations of Lebanese sovereignty by land, sea and air and the electronic war being waged by Israel against Lebanon through espionage activities along the borders with occupied Palestine. Such data is being used for piracy and spying on Lebanese telecommunication networks. We call on the international community to fulfil its duties in accordance with the Charter to achieve international peace and security. With respect to the Syrian crisis, the Arab Group continues to stress the need to resolve the crisis by peaceful means, through a process based on the Geneva communique of 30 June 2012 (S/2012/523, annex) and within the framework of the efforts being undertaken by Mr. Lakhdar Brahimi, Joint Special Representative of the United Nations and the League of Arab States.”

  4. “If Israel persists, that would constitute a threat to the Council's legitimacy and a sign of its inability to maintain international peace and security. The Arab Group stresses that the annexation by Israeli occupation forces of Palestinian land and the Syrian Golan is a grave threat to international peace and security. It is a source of major outrage and anger in the region. It cannot be condoned. We cannot fail to welcome the agreement on Palestinian reconciliation. It will unify the Palestinian will to face the major challenges on the question of Palestine. We call on all international parties, including the Council, to provide all the necessary support for Palestinian national reconciliation to succeed. Do not place obstacles before it.”

  5. “The Security Council is called upon now more than ever to fulfil its responsibilities to maintain international peace and security, resolve the crisis in the Middle East in accordance with the Charter and the principles of international law. It should do so by taking urgent measures, compelling Israel to immediately put an end to such provocations of religious sensitivities and by condemning State terrorism against civilians, which is a threat to peace and security in the region. The Arab Group realizes that the United Nations has adopted many resolutions that have been ignored by the occupying Power. The time has come for the occupying Power to abide by Council resolutions and to put an end to its illegitimate occupation.”

  6. “Such provocative acts by the Israelis and the gross violations of Muslim and Christian holy sites make it the duty of the international community as a whole to immediately intervene to put an end to such crimes, because the desecration of holy sites is a threat to the peace and stability of the region and the world. We call on the international community, in particular on the occasion of the International Year of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, to join that people, who are fighting to regain their inalienable rights. The international community must bring pressure to bear on Israel to free all Palestinian prisoners and detainees, as well as those from the occupied Syrian Golan in Israeli prisons.”

  7. “The situation is deteriorating on a daily basis owing to the arbitrary practices of the occupying Power. The Arab Group expresses its utmost concern with respect to the continuing Israeli siege and its intensified campaigns and inhumane, illegal and violent attacks aimed changing the demographic composition of Al-Quds Al-Sharif and other cities in Palestinian territory by withholding identity cards, the forced expulsion of inhabitants, the building of settlements and the intensification of settlement activity, and attacks against Muslim and Christian holy sites. The Arab Group condemns the continuing incursions by the Israeli occupation forces and settlers into the mosque.”

  8. “Mr. Al-Hajri (Oman) (spoke in Arabic): It is a pleasure to address the Security Council on behalf of the Arab Group and to congratulate you, Mr. President, on your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for this month. Your diplomatic skills and knowledge of international affairs are, we are sure, the best guarantee for achieving success in the Council's deliberations and the desired results. The Security Council is meeting today to debate a most important issue on its agenda, namely, the situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian question, to which we have long awaited a solution from the international community. We all know that Palestinian lands are languishing under Israeli occupation, and have been for a long time.”
