  1. “We call on the Council and the international community to work together to find a shared perspective on protecting civilians in armed conflicts of all kinds. We also call for preserving the neutrality status of innocent civilians, and on the international community to shoulder its responsibilities by taking a strong position against the Houthi militias supported by Iran, which target Vital areas populated by innocent people with ballistic missiles and drones in cities of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, in gross violation of international humanitarian law and the Council resolutions.”

  2. “Some conflicts drive children into combat, depriving them of their fundamental right to education and to be in school, and innocent people of the basic rights of life. We therefore call on the Security Council to operationalize its relevant resolutions, which must deter violators of international humanitarian law. The change in the nature of conflicts requires ongoing adaptations to protect the lives of civilians. For example, the Israeli siege of Gaza represents total disregard for the principle of protecting civilians and their most fundamental rights. The theft of food in Yemen by Houthi coup militias also subjects civilians to the threat of famine. I would like to clarify that any attack on vital facilities in populated areas represents direct and clear disregard of the lives of civilians.”

  3. “Mr. Almanzlawiy (Saudi Arabia) (spoke in Arabic): At the outset, I would like to congratulate the Indonesian presidency on steering wisely the work of the Security Council for this month. We also thank you, Sir, for convening this important meeting. This year coincides with the twentieth anniversary of the Security Council's adoption of resolution 1265 (1999), on the protection of civilians in armed conflict. My country continues to urge the international community to take a united and comprehensive approach to protecting civilians and keeping them at a distance from armed conflict. The contemporary reality ofa world of successive and continuing conflicts causes suffering and harm to civilians and innocent people, depriving them of the most basic rights of life.”

  4. “In conclusion, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia once again underscores the importance of ending the tragic situation to which the Syrian people have been subjected. We will pursue our efforts to resolve the issue peaceably based on the first Geneva communique (S/2012/522, annex) and pursuant to resolution 2254 (2015). The settlement of the crisis must be based on a Syrian consensus so as to realize the aspirations of the Syrian people, with the support of the Security Council.”

  5. “With regard to Syria, we pledged $100 million to alleviate the suffering of the Syrian people at the Brussels Conference on Supporting the Future of Syria and the Region, held last April. We also contributed approximately $1 billion to support refugees in Syria and neighbouring countries. Moreover, we have hosted approximately 2.5 million Syrian citizens since the conflict began. The report issued on 13 June by the Fact-finding Mission of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons confirmed the use of a toxic chemical as a weapon on 24 March 2017. My country strongly condemns that act, which is a heinous crime that requires a firm and clear response from the international community, led by the Security Council, so as to hold accountable those responsible.”

  6. “The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia highlights that the most severe deterioration of the humanitarian situation is to be found in the areas controlled by the Houthis, in particular in the vicinity of Al-Hudaydah, where, despite its proximity to the port, the people are being deprived of their most basic humanitarian rights. The Houthi militias have impeded access to humanitarian assistance so as to achieve their own political goals, to the detriment of the most vulnerable members of society. They are hampering humanitarian work and targeting populated areas, including humanitarian workers, while using children as human shields - an internationally prohibited crime. They are also using anti-aircraft weapons in civilian areas and targeting cities in the Kingdom of Saudi with ballistic missiles.”

  7. “That is why we today we launched the Saudi Project for Landmine Clearance, a $40 million programme in partnership on the ground with Yemen's national demining programme. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia also strongly condemns Houthi attacks against United Nations aid agencies and other humanitarian personnel since 2015. The Houthis have seized 19 humanitarian assistance ships carrying 200,000 tons of fuel, while also looting and destroying another 65 ships and numerous trucks carrying humanitarian assistance. The Houthis have also been planting mines and imposing fees in order to earn money for their military activities.”

  8. “It is also the assessment of the Secretariat that some component parts of the debris were manufactured in the Islamic Republic of Iran." (S/2018/602, para.10) The report also mentions nine additional launches of ballistic missiles against my country, which were Iranian Qiam-l ballistic missiles. Those are flagrant violations of resolutions 2216 (2015) and 2231 (2016). The Security Council must take a firm stand against Iran to show that the international community is not powerless in the face of those aggressive terrorist practices that are destabilizing regional and international peace and security. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia condemns the random laying ofthousands ofmines by the Houthis - in Yemen generally and in Al-Hudaydah specifically - which poses a serious threat tocivilians.”

  9. “The most recent of such reports, the fifth report of the Secretary-General on the implementation of resolution 2231 (2015), published on 12 June, states that "The Secretariat has carefully reviewed all information and material available regarding the allegations of the transfer of ballistic missiles, parts thereof or related technology by the Islamic Republic of Iran to the Houthis in Yemen that may have been used in ballistic missile launches aimed at the territory of Saudi Arabia. On the basis of the information and material analysed, it is the assessment of the Secretariat that the debris of five missiles launched at Yanbu' and Riyadh since July 2017 share key design features with a known type of missile manufactured by the Islamic Republic of Iran.”

  10. “Coalition forces are acting with the utmost restraint to ensure the best protection for civilians, while, regrettably, the Houthis are using women and children as human shields, thereby demonstrating their cruelty and lack of respect for the norms of international law. Iran continues to support the Houthi rebels in Yemen and to supply them with weapons and missiles, which from time to time target cities in my country. In fact, there have been 155 cruel missile attacks against the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The most recent, carried out on Sunday, 24 June, targeted my country's capital, with missile debris falling on residential neighborhoods. Independent reports by the United Nations confirm that those missiles were manufactured in Iran and that Iran supplied them to Houthi rebels.”

  11. “In cooperation with our allies - a coalition countries - my country is carrying out a military operation to restore legitimacy in Yemen, save the Yemeni people from obscurantists who are leading them to their doom and retake certain regions that are now being controlled by terrorist militias that are supported by Iran. We are taking very calculated measures to reduce the number of casualties on both sides, especially among civilians. That military operation was initiated at the request of the legitimate Yemeni Government and in accordance with resolution 2216 (2015), which calls for the withdrawal of Houthi rebels from all Yemeni cities, among other things. That is in line with the coalition's approach to assisting the Yemeni Government.”

  12. “My country reiterates that achieving peace on the basis of the two-State solution, in accordance with the international terms of reference and the Arab Peace Initiative, is a strategic choice for a comprehensive and just solution to the Palestinian question, and to putting an end to the Arab-Israeli conflict and all the tragedies and human suffering that it engenders. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia also welcomes the adoption by the General Assembly of resolution ES- 10/20, on the protection of Palestinian civilians, and we deplore the fact that the Security Council has not been able to adopt a similar resolution.”

  13. “The most recent example of this was our $50 million contribution to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, which we presented during the twenty-ninth Summit of the League of Arab States - the so called Jerusalem Summit - which was held in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia calls on States to not recognize any alterations made by Israel, the occupying Power, beyond the 4 June 1967 borders. We call on the Security Council to assume its responsibility and ensure that Israel complies with the Council's resolutions and international law aimed at putting an end to Israeli occupation; the full withdrawal from the occupied Arab territories, including the occupied Syrian Golan and the Lebanese territory; and the release of all Palestinian prisoners.”

  14. “Mr. Almanzlawiy (Saudi Arabia) (spoke in Arabic): At the outset, allow me to welcome the Russian Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs. I congratulate the Russian Federation on its able presidency of the Security Council this month and I thank you, Mr. President, for holding this meeting to discuss the situation in the Middle East. The Palestinian people have long suffered from unjust occupation, oppressive and racist policies and illegitimate settlement incursion. We would like to pay tribute to the Palestinian people for their resistance and their fight to defend their territory, children and holy sites. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has always supported the Palestinian cause and the brotherly Palestinian people in every way possible.”
