  1. “We want to be more than mere witnesses and supporters of the killing and persecution of the great Syrian people. It is high time for the international community to shoulder its responsibilities towards Syria. The Security Council should hasten to take the necessary decisions in support of the Arab initiative, and to adopt the political, economic and security measures that are designed to implement all its aspects. My country views with concern Iran's threats to the security of the Arabian Gulf and the safety of its waterways. We call on Iran to refrain from any actions that threaten the security of the region.”

  2. “The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is deeply pained by the suffering of the brotherly Syrian people. We call on the Syrian authorities to cease repelling the legitimate aspirations of their citizens with violence and bullets. We hope that the Syrian Government will heed the voice of reason and wisdom and abide by the proposals of the Arab League to find a balanced political solution that achieves the aspirations of the Syrian people, preserves the unity and territorial integrity of Syria, halts the cycle of violence, and spares the country from foreign interference in its internal affairs. My country decided to withdraw its observers from the Arab observer mission to Syria because we did not feel that the Syrian authorities were serious in responding to the Arab initiative.”

  3. “Any procrastination will constitute an abandonment of the moral responsibility that must be shouldered by the international community and the Security Council. My country presented a comprehensive Peace Initiative to the international community to end all aspects of the Arab-Israeli conflict, including an end to Israeli occupation of the Syrian Arab Golan and the remaining Lebanese territory and the establishment of the State of Palestine. That Initiative has been endorsed by all Arab States. It is a source of pain that Israel continues to disregard that initiative, as if it believes that it can be kept on the table forever. Israel's settlement policy uproots the two-State concept and therefore undermines the bases and principles around which the Arab Initiative revolves.”

  4. “The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia calls upon the international community to shoulder its responsibilities vis-a-vis Israeli actions in Al-Quds Al-Sharif, including settlement activities, the confiscation of Palestinian land and homes, the eviction of Palestinians and endangering the Holy Shrine. Fourthly, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia calls upon the international community to take a courageous and decisive position by fully recognizing the Palestinian State, within the borders of 4 June 1967 and with Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital, by responding positively to the application transmitted to the Security Council for Palestine's membership in the United Nations. It should also call upon Israel to end the occupation, lift the blockade of Gaza, dismantle settlements and release Palestinian detainees.”

  5. “While it views the aspirations of the peoples of the region for freedom with disrespect and arrogance, it also thinks that it can deny the Palestinian people their legitimate rights to self-determination and the establishment of their independent State on their national soil, within the borders of 4 June 1967 and with Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital. Thirdly, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which has the honour of being the Custodian of the two Holy Sites, views with considerable concern the Israeli practices in Al-Quds Al-Sharif that are designed to efface its Arab and Islamic identity and to undermine the rights of the Christians and Muslims in the Holy City.”

  6. “I should like to express my country's support for the statements made on behalf of the Non-Aligned Movement, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and the League of Arab States. This debate comes at a time of critical economic and political circumstances, the most salient features of which are the following. First, Israel, the occupying Power, still practises in the occupied Palestinian territory a policy that aims at increasing settlements, which reached a record level in 2011. Further expropriation of Palestinian land, particularly in Al-Quds Al-Sharif, has thwarted the aspirations of the Palestinian people for freedom and independence in accordance with relevant international resolutions. Secondly, it seems that Israel is turning a blind eye to the renewed situation in the Middle East.”

  7. “Mr. Al-Mouallimi (Saudi Arabia) (spoke in Arabic): I am pleased to congratulate you, Mr. President, on South Africa's assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for this month. I am confident that your leadership of the work of the Council will lead to success in its deliberations. By the same token, I would like to express our appreciation and respect for the outgoing non-permanent members, as well as to congratulate the friendly and brotherly new States members of the Council, namely, Morocco, Pakistan, Azerbaijan, Togo and Guatemala. By the same token, I would like to thank Mr. Fernandez- Taranco for presenting his briefing on the situation in the Middle East.”

  8. “According to the evidence provided by the competent authorities of the United States, it is clear that the perpetrators who planned and supported the implementation of this heinous crime either work for the Iranian Government or are affiliated with it. 34 The Kingdom reiterates its denunciation and condemnation of any attempt to tamper with its security or assault any of its citizens or officials. The Kingdom will not stand idle in response to those who play foul with its security. Furthermore, the Kingdom reaffirms its full cooperation with the international community and the Security Council, which is entrusted with maintaining international peace and security, to ensure that anyone involved in that plot, whether State or individual, be held accountable.”

  9. “Israel and the children and people of Palestine must be made to see clearly that the international community has agreed, albeit belatedly, to support the Palestinian cause by granting Palestine full membership in the United Nations. We call upon Israel to withdraw fully from all the Arab territories occupied in 1967. In conclusion, peace in the Middle East requires the commitment of all States of the region to be guaranteed security. We cannot talk about peace in the Middle East without referring to the recently discovered plot to assassinate the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to the United States of America.”

  10. “The Kingdom would not make such demands without extending a hand of peace and proving its commitment to a just and comprehensive peace. In this vein, the Kingdom introduced a peace initiative that was adopted by all Arab States in 2002, known as the Arab Peace Initiative. That Initiative reiterates the Arabs' commitment to achieving a just and comprehensive peace based on the rules of international law. Nevertheless, we have not seen any similar commitment from Israel. Rather, Israel has evaded its duties and responsibilities and continued its many violations against the Palestinian people and their rights. We therefore, now more than ever before, call upon the Security Council to support the Palestinian people and recognize their State, within the borders of 4 June 1967, and with Jerusalem as its capital.”

  11. “Meanwhile, a generation of Palestinian children in the Gaza Strip are born and raised with nothing in their minds but devastation, destruction and the world's failure to support them in exercising their natural rights- which are the same as those of any other children in the world. Therefore, in this Chamber, we urge the Security Council to shoulder its responsibilities by lifting the siege on Gaza and opening the crossings that lead to it. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia calls upon the international community to compel Israel to take the necessary procedures to protect the holy sites and places of worship in Palestine, particularly in Jerusalem. In addition, the Kingdom urges the international community to force Israel to release the remaining Palestinian prisoners, some of whom have not seen their families for decades.”

  12. “The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia reiterates that security can be achieved neither by building symbols of oppression and occupation nor through the unjustified use of military force. Rather, security can be achieved by respecting human rights and the rule of law. The situation in the besieged Gaza Strip constitutes another factor that exacerbates the problems that the Palestinian people face. In fact, the Gaza Strip has become one big prison, as a result of the unjust blockade imposed by Israel against the Palestinians, preventing them from exercising their natural rights and accessing their necessary services and needs.”

  13. “What they need to do now is to take an international, collective stand that clearly reflects that existing unanimity. It is high time for Israel to realize that it cannot continue to exempt itself from full compliance with the rules of international law-based behaviour. The "Apartheid Wall" embodies irrefutable evidence of the extent of the Israeli occupying Power's persistence in violating United Nations resolutions, particularly General Assembly resolution 181 (II), on the pretext of legitimate self-defence. In fact, the true purpose of building the wall is to change the facts on ground and to evict the Palestinian people, prevent East Jerusalem from escaping Israeli sovereignty and secure control over water resources, in addition to establishing as many settlements as possible for the settlers.”

  14. “It proceeds with its illegal settlement activities in the occupied Palestinian territories, including East Jerusalem, riding roughshod over international will, countries' condemnations and United Nations resolutions issued in this regard. Israeli settlements surround most cities of the West Bank and seize nearly half of their water resources, making it difficult for any Palestinian Government to work effectively. Furthermore, it is unethical that the occupation forces impose a blockade on an entire people and continue their settlement activities, secure from any accountability. Most of the countries gathered here, including the permanent members of the Security Council, have issued individual statements against the continuation of Israeli settlement activities.”

  15. “This meeting is being held at a time when the Palestinian people are paying for the reluctance of the international community and the Security Council to deter Israel from its actions against the Palestinian people, such as killing, displacement, imprisonment, blockades, annexation of land, confiscation of property and plundering the wealth of Palestine. All those actions subject the Palestinian people to further intense oppression and torture, with the goal of forcing them to surrender and despair. The Israeli Government persists in its intransigence, refusing to give the Palestinians their basic rights.”

  16. “Thank you, Madame President, for the opportunity to speak at this meeting. Allow me, first, to thank all the delegations that have expressed their sympathies and condolences to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on the passing of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. We appreciate their support and solidarity. I would also like to extend our condolences to the people and Government of Turkey for their losses caused by the earthquake that struck their country. I further want to point out that we align ourselves fully with the statement made by the Egyptian Ambassador on behalf of the Non-Aligned Movement. (spoke in Arabic) At the outset, I am honoured to express my gratitude to you for convening this open debate on the situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian question.”
