  1. “The representative of the Syrian regime also continues to repeat the same false claims against the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, an indication of his own failure and inability to divert the attention of the Council from the crimes the Syrian regime has committed against the Syrian people. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has repeatedly reaffirmed its condemnation of terrorism in all its forms and manifestations. The defeat and eradication of terrorism require that the root causes be addressed. That includes the practices ofthe Syrian regime, specifically the violations committed against the Syrian people. The representative of the Syrian regime has gone so far as to use methods, such as the amputation of hands, arms, and so on, against those who opposed the Syrian regime and aspired to freedom and dignity.”

  2. “Mr. Alyas (Saudi Arabia) (spoke in Arabic): Israel continues its desperate attempts to distort the truth in order to divert the Council's attention from what its forces are doing to the Palestinian people. It does so by attacking anyone who criticizes its oppressive policies and actions, which contravene international law and resolutions concerning Palestine. The statement delivered by the representative of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia this morning explained very clearly and in detail our position with regard to Israeli distortions, claims and lies, whether they be the ones included in their original statement or their subsequent statement.”

  3. “Mr. Alyas (Saudi Arabia) (spoke in Arabic): I find it strange that as we meet today to discuss the issue of the Middle East and the question of Palestine, and the representative of Israel has openly attacked countries that have stood on the side of right and against his country's aggressions, the delegation of Israel has raised domestic issues that are none of its concern. That is hardly surprising, considering that Israel is known to misrepresent the truth and to violate the rights of the Palestinian people and international law on a daily basis. I congratulate the representative of Israel for returning, towards the end of his statement, to the topic under discussion today. Unfortunately, he also mocked those present here by claiming that Israel is committed to the peace process.”

  4. “That confirms once again the gravity of delaying the adoption of appropriate resolutions at the right time to achieve peace in the region and the world. Those delays lead to the spread of anarchy, wars, killing and destruction. My delegation emphasizes the need for the Council to consider the aspirations and hopes of the peoples of the world and the region.”

  5. “With regard to the situation in the occupied Palestinian Arab territories, the Security Council has considered that issue almost since the day it was established. It is unable to maintain international peace and security or restore the rights of the legitimate holders. Israel persists in violating international law and in changing the situation on the ground. The Syrian crisis has festered without being addressed in a manner conducive to achieving the aspirations of the Syrian people and reflecting the will of the international community, as represented in the resolutions on the issue adopted by the General Assembly, which have not been appropriately translated into reality by the Council.”

  6. “The Security Council should benefit from the expertise of regional and subregional organizations in solving and preventing conflicts. We emphasize the need for all States to abide by the Council's resolutions equally and without selectivity. The Middle East has long suffered from continuous violations of international peace and security without effective and efficient intervention. That has led to calamities in the region and within the international community. We are perplexed by the double standard applied to the Middle East. Instead of the Council preserving the prestige of the United Nations and safeguarding its efficiency and credibility, that double standard will definitely lead to a loss of confidence among the peoples of the region in international institutions, in particular in the Security Council.”

  7. “On that basis, the process of reforming the Security Council and its working methods must be inclusive, comprehensive and designed to strengthen the Council's ability to fulfil its mission, reflect contemporary realities and the diversity of the international community, and take into consideration the interests of the entire United Nations membership. The change in the Security Council's structure should reflect the current situation, as well as new developments in the international arena. It should reflect the equitable geographic distribution of Member States and preserve its ability and effectiveness in fulfilling its duties, including in preventing conflicts and international disputes before they escalate and lead to grave consequences.”

  8. “Mr. Alyas (Saudi Arabia) (spoke in Arabic): I would like to thank you, Mr. President, for convening this open debate on the working methods of the Security Council. I would also like to associate myself with the statement made by the representative of Switzerland on behalf of the Accountability, Coherence and Transparency group, as well as that to be delivered on behalf of the Non-Aligned Movement. The international community's attention is focused on the Council more than ever before. Innocent people throughout the world yearn for the Security Council to save them from the scourges of war by implementing its mandate for the maintenance of international peace and security without further delay, which will make the world a safer place.”

  9. “My delegation therefore stresses the importance of implementing these decisions through international measures to support the Syrian people and stop the genocidal massacre being committed by the Syrian regime, as well to prevent a spillover of the crisis in the region, which would have serious consequences with the intervention by third parties, such as the flagrant interference of Hizbullah in Al-Qusayr. Any delay by the international community in taking action means more suffering for the helpless Syrian people. History too will hold the Council accountable for any such delay.”

  10. “As a result, the Syrian refugee crisis has attained historic proportions, becoming the worst crisis since the genocide in Rwanda, according to testimony in the United Nations. Through the resolutions of the General Assembly, especially resolution 67/262 of 15 May 2013, the majority of States Members of the United Nations has condemned the Syrian regime, which has massacred tens of thousands of Syrian people. Moreover, the Human Rights Council last June condemned the Syrian regime for its violations ofthe human rights ofthe Syrian people.”

  11. “Moreover, we commend the decisions of the EU not to cooperate with Government agencies, especially the ones in Israeli settlements in East Jerusalem and the West Bank. We call on the countries of the world to follow suit and take similar steps to condemn the criminal Israeli actions against Palestinian citizens. The situation in Syria is deteriorating day by day. To date, more that 100,000 people have been killed, including more than 6,500 children under the age of 10. All of that occurs as the international community remains silent and refrains from forcing the Syrian regime to respond to the legitimate aspirations of the Syrian people. The Syrian humanitarian crisis is a source of shame for the conscience of the international community, which stands paralysed on this issue.”

  12. “On the other hand, we have closely monitored the statements and reports on the possible resumption of the peace process between the Palestinians and Israel. Consequently, my delegation stresses the importance of not relying on hopes without the international community continuing to pressure Israel in order to make it understand that there is no choice but peace and that this issue is not limited to routine reviews in the Security Council's deliberations. Meanwhile, my delegation commends the latest decisions of the European Union (EU) that emphasize the illegitimacy of settlements built on the territories of the West Bank and Jerusalem, and the inclusion of a clause in any future agreements between the EU and Israel emphasizing that those settlements are not under Israel's authority.”

  13. “It also continues its settlement policy in a quest to change the situation on the ground. That includes, but is not limited to, the confiscation and destruction of Palestinian homes, the expansion of settlements, arrests, the use of excessive violence against demonstrators and the continued blockade on the Gaza Strip. In addition to all of that, the latest evidence ofIsrael's arrogance and its defiance of the will of the international community came last week, when it declared its intention to approve the construction of a thousand new housing units in a number of settlements. Not only does Israel continue to ignore international efforts to revive the peace process, but Israeli officials make statements that threaten the success of the peace process and the two-State solution. That merits broad international condemnation.”

  14. “Mr. Alyas (Saudi Arabia) (spoke in Arabic): At the outset, Madam President, I would like to extend my sincere congratulations on your country's assumption of the Security Council presidency for this month and for convening this open debate on the situation in the Middle East. I would like also to express my country's support for the statements made, or to be made, by the speakers on behalf ofthe League ofArab States, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and the Non-Aligned Movement. I would also like to thank Mr. Robert Serry for his comprehensive briefing on the topic. Israel continues to violate international law and the rights of the Palestinian people through acts that include, inter alia, displacement, expulsion, arbitrary detention and ill-treatment of prisoners.”
