  1. “We must assist the Palestinians and save them from despair, because the international Organization is unable to end their suffering and ensure them their rights so that they can realize their legitimate aspirations.”

  2. “The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) is currently facing a critical situation. That is why I take this opportunity to highly commend the lofty humanitarian work done by UNRWA to assist more than 5.4 million Palestinian refugees, including children, women and young people, by providing relief and development services in the areas of health care, nutrition, infrastructure and education. The Arab Group rejects any attempts to nullify the refugee issue or to remove it from the international agenda. In conclusion, let me say that there can be no stability and peace in the region as long as the Israeli occupation of Arab territories continues.”

  3. “In that connection, we reaffirm our support for the efforts of our brothers in the Arab Republic of Egypt to ensure Palestinian reconciliation. In keeping with the provisions of international law and United Nations resolutions on the Palestinian question, the Arab Group calls on the Security Council and its member States to take the following measures: first, to not recognize any unilateral action aimed at undermining the two-State solution, including any action affecting the character, status or demographic composition of Jerusalem, and to ensure that such actions are null and void and have no legal impact; secondly, to call once again on States to refrain from setting up diplomatic missions in Jerusalem, in line with the relevant Security Council and General Assembly resolutions; thirdly, to reiterate that the questions of Jerusalem and refugees are final-status issues that must be addressed through negotiations between the parties on the basis of international legitimacy resolutions; and, fourthly, to step up international and regional efforts to bring about a just, comprehensive and lasting peace in the Middle East by creating an independent Palestinian State within the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, in line with international legitimacy resolutions.”

  4. “Israel offers only one alternative, namely, continue with the occupation, consolidate colonization and violate Palestinian sovereignty. We reiterate that resolution 2334 (2016) represents a step in the right direction for ending the Israeli occupation and its settlement project, rejecting violence and establishing peace based on the two-State solution. That is why the international community must now undertake efforts and take the measures necessary to implement that resolution. The international community must also bring pressure to bear on the Israeli Government to abandon its settlement project. We underscore the Arab position calling for the full lifting ofthe Israeli blockade imposed on the Gaza Strip, while promptly achieving Palestinian reconciliation in line with the document signed in Cairo last year.”

  5. “That is the principle on which the Arab countries based themselves when, during their summit held in Beirut in 2002, they adopted the Arab Peace Initiative, which is underpinned by the principle of land for peace and the withdrawal of Israel from all Arab territories occupied since 1967. In addition, the Arab countries have spared no effort in international and regional forums to mobilize support for achieving the two-State solution, within the borders of 4 June 1967, and to ensure that a just peace prevails, in which no inequitable solution is imposed on the Palestinian people, who are under the yoke of occupation. However, Israeli intransigence, procrastination and evasion have not led to the desired solution to this issue or to ending the conflict.”

  6. “Mr. Al Towaiya (Oman) (spoke in Arabic): First and foremost, allow me, on behalf of the Group of Arab States, to extend to you, Madam President, my sincere thanks and appreciation for having convened this important meeting. I wish also to congratulate you on having assumed the presidency of the Security Council for this month. Although our Arab region is experiencing political crises, the Palestinian question, which has been going on for 70 years, remains the central issue in the region. Resolving it in a fair and lasting way will bring security and stability to that region. The Charter of the United Nations prohibits and rejects the conquest of land by force.”
