  1. “Here, we reiterate the importance of implementing resolution 497 (1981), which states that Israel must withdraw from the occupied Syrian Golan to the 4 June 1967 line. We urge Israel to stop threatening and violating Lebanese sovereignty and to withdraw from all its occupied territories, in accordance with resolution 1701 (2006), and to respect the water rights and territorial integrity of Lebanon. In this context, we welcome Israeli-Palestinian talks in Jordan. Nevertheless, we reiterate that the Quartet should give priority to putting an end to the Israeli settlement policy. Otherwise, the peace process will fail; it will not succeed in achieving a just, comprehensive and lasting solution to the Israeli- Palestinian conflict.”

  2. “Kuwait reiterates that the international community has the legal and moral responsibility to protect Palestinians, whose territory is occupied, and to uphold the United Nations Charter, and Council resolutions 242 (1967), 338 (1973), 1397 (2002), 1515 (2003) and 1860 (2009) in particular. It should implement the Arab Peace Initiative, the road map and the principle of land for peace. Recognition of the Palestinian State would be the greatest investment in peace in the region. On 22 January 2012, the League of Arab States adopted several resolutions with regard to Syria. The Arab League reiterates the need for Syria to respect the League's plan of action and to implement its provisions in order to reaffirm the aspirations of the Syrian people.”

  3. “Given Israel's ongoing violations and practices against Palestinians in the occupied territories and its non-compliance with the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949, the international community, particularly the Security Council, must send a strong message, without reservations, to the occupying Power that its illegal acts and practices must stop. Otherwise, we will see a further deterioration of the situation in the occupied Palestinian territories. That will lead to failing efforts to restore mutual trust between the two parties and will jeopardize a political solution on the basis of two States. In addition, we are witnessing the Palestinians trying to establish their State through the support of international organizations and institutions and the United Nations.”

  4. “That undermines the rights of Palestinians - the rights to self- determination, equality, freedom of movement - and is contrary to the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949, the United Nations Charter and international law. That is reflected in resolutions adopted under international law that prohibit annexation and the construction of settlements and provide that they must be dismantled. Israel's continuation of those unlawful colonial practices in the occupied Palestinian territories, including East Jerusalem, and its aerial attacks on unarmed civilians demonstrate its disregard for all the agreements made with the Palestinian Authority and for its international obligations. Such actions undermine all efforts to resume the political peace process on the basis of the two-State solution, the 4 June 1967 borders and the road map of the Quartet.”

  5. “According to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees in the Near East, more than 1,100 Palestinians are reported to have been displaced as a result of the destruction in East Jerusalem - compared to 606 people displaced in 2010. The very difficult economic situation, the high level of poverty and unemployment, the illegal settlement activities and reports of the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs stating that attacks on civilians in Palestine grew in 2011, with an increase of no less than 50 per cent over the previous year, with the full knowledge of the Israeli authorities - all these factors demonstrate that peace efforts are threatened. Since 1967, Israel has not ceased constructing new settlements. Some 150 settlements have been built in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.”

  6. “The peoples and States of the region look to the international community, in particular in the case of the occupied Arab territories, to implement international law and resolutions, since the region continues to be unstable as a result of the disruption of the peace process. Israeli violations of international law, international humanitarian law and human rights laws, the blockade of Gaza, the collective punishment of the Palestinian people, the refusal to release detainees, the demolition of their properties and assets, the forced deportation taking place and the demographic changes in and judaization of Jerusalem continue.”

  7. “Mr. AlMutairi (Kuwait) (spoke in Arabic): My delegation would like to thank the South African presidency for the convening of this meeting on the situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian question. I should also like to congratulate the new non-permanent members of the Security Council. We reaffirm and support the statements made on behalf of the Non-Aligned Movement, the Arab Group and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation. There can be no doubt that a meeting on the situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian question, at this time is very opportune. It reflects the importance that the international community gives to the situation of the Palestinian people in the light of Israel's violations in the occupied Palestinian territories.”
