“It remains a matter of deep concern to my delegation that the international community has failed to engage the Israelis and Palestinians in significant, substantive dialogue and dispute resolution so as to bring stability and peace to both. Solving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict remains the key to a series of questions affecting the region more broadly, not to mention the consequences for the wider world. The Holy See therefore aligns itself with other delegations in calling for a resumption of the peace process and a commitment by all parties to a peaceful resolution of their disputes. On 15 May 2009, at the conclusion ofhis pilgrimage to the Holy Land, Pope Benedict XVI passionately expressed the following sentiments, which have a substantive bearing on our work: "No more bloodshed! No more fighting! No more terrorism! No more war!”

“At the outset, I would like to congratulate Pakistan on its assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for this month, and on organizing today's debate, focusing on the centrality of peace in the Middle East, not only for the peoples of the region but also for the international community. I would also like to thank you, Mr. President, for inviting the Holy See to take the floor in this important debate. The Holy See has actively and attentively followed the steps leading to Palestine's new status at the United Nations as a non-member observer State, and welcomes General Assembly resolution 67/19, while noting that such an outcome does not in itself constitute a solution adequate to the problems in the region.”
