  1. “These two paths reinforce each other. By contrast, the Council's draft resolution will not enhance the peace process, nor will it discourage further terrorist attacks in the area: just the opposite.”

  2. “Regulation 112 of the Regulations under which expulsion orders are issued has been held valid in the administered areas by the Israeli Supreme Court. It has been argued that expulsion is prohibited by the Fourth Geneva Convention. However, the Fourth Geneva Convention is not applicable to Judea, Samaria and the Gaza District. These areas were not taken, as formulated in the Convention, from any legal sovereign. Nevertheless, Israel applies voluntarily the humanitarian provisions of the Convention, but they do not include, according to the interpretation of the Israeli Supreme Court, any prohibition of the expulsion of individuals involved in terrorist activities. Israel has a legal obligation to defend its residents, Jews and Arabs alike, and will continue to do so. Israel will also continue to seek peace through the peace process.”

  3. “The expulsion orders issued by Israel are in accordance with the legal framework in force in Judea, Samaria and the Gaza District. Pending the achievement of a political solution to the problem as a whole, Israel is responsible, according to international law, for the administration of the territories. Therefore, Israel is obliged to determine the manner in which order is to be restored and maintained. Most of the security measures adopted by the Military Government in the administered areas are based xpon the local Jordanian or Egyptian legislation, of which the Defence (Emergency) Regulations 1945 form a part. The Regulations were enacted by the British Government in 1945 and applied to the whole area under the Mandate, which included the administered areas.”

  4. “Quite the contrary: the General Assembly, in its resolution 46/76 of 11 December 1991, stated that the dntifadah "has received significant attention and sympathy from world public opinion" (A/46/L.37, first preambular paragraph). This is almost a licence to kill issued by those who profess sympathy with such terrorist attacks here in this building. A one-sided and unbalanced view of the situation by the organs of the United Nations will not contribute to the peace process, and cannot but encourage more terrorist activities. We have to discuss political solutions in the framework of the peace process. In the area itself, if attacked, wa have to defend ourselves and deter terrorists. Political problems will be solved in the negotiations around the negotiating table. Terrorist attacks will be countered by military measures.”

  5. “In the attack on 28 October 1991, just one day before Arafat's statement, Itzhak Rofe, 40 years old, the father of four children, was murdered, and Rachel Druk, 35 years old, the mother of 7 children, was also murdered. Four children were wounded. The tragedy of their families evidently does not merit a resolution by the Security Council. This tragedy does concern Israel, These terrorist attacks are directed not only against Jews. Since the beginning of the intifadah 572 Palestinians have been killed by the death squads of the PLO and affiliated organizations. All these murders - of Jews and Arabs alike - did not even once merit a condemnation by either the Security Council or the General Assembly.”

  6. “The most outctanding examples are the running over of soldiers at Nizanim in July, when one soldier was killed and another injured, and at Tel Hashomer Junction in October, when two soldiers were killed and 11 injured. The third is the PLO Fatah Group, which is purported to support the peace process. Fatah members have committed approximately 320 terrorist acts in 1991. These attacks included shooting incidents, attacks with explosives, attacks using spray grenades, attacks with Molotov cocktails and stabbing incidents. Yasser Arafat himself, in an interview on Radio Monte Caric on 29 October 1991, said, celebrating the new murder of Jews: "The jntifadah will continue, wave after wave, anu will escalate through all means and ways." Let us see what the ways and means were that Arafat celebrated.”

  7. “The expulsion cf extremists actively engaged in wrecking the peace process will help create the security and calm so essential for serious peace talks. The persons to be expelled are activists of three terrorist groups. The first is the Popular Front. This organization has taken responsibility for several serious attacks involving firearms. The last main ones include firing at an Israeli bus on the Alon Highway south of Tapuach on 28 October and shooting at the car of a resident of Ofra in the town of El-Bireh on 1 December. In these attacks, threo Israelis were killed and 8 wounded. The second is the Hamas Group. During 1991, 55 Hamas cells, which admitted to 67 attacks, were uncovered. They have carried out actions involving attacks, stabbings and hit-and-run vehicle attacks.”

  8. “Some of them have participated in attacks on soldiers of the Israel Defence Forces and local residents and others have taken part in the incitement and organization of violent disturbances in Judea, Samaria and the Gaza district. It should be noted that the expellees are not subject to immediate expulsion. Each one of the individuals who received expulsion orders has the opportunity to submit an appea', first to an advisory committee attached to the Regional Commander and, subsequently, to the Israel Supreme Court sitting as the High Court of Justice. Expulsions are a rarely used but highly effective deterrent measure. The last expulsion orders were issued against four Gaza district residents in May 1991.”

  9. “Most recently, an Israeli citizen was ambushed and killed while travelling to his home in Kfar Darmon, near the Dir El-Balach camp in the Gaza District, on the eve of the second round of peace talks. Israel cannot allow what may well become an extended peace process to be used as a smokescreen for terror attacks against. Israeli civilians. Israelis are being systematically attacked teiore each stage of the negotiations. Israel cannot responsibly refrain from reacting in @ manner that would protect its citizens. The decision to expel 12 Palestinian Arabs heavily implicated in organizing terror attacks was not hastily taken. Tho persons to be expelled are active members of the various terrorist organizations.”

  10. “It is a personal pleasure for me to be able to congratulate you, Sir, on your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for the month of January. I have no doubt that your wealth of diplomatic experience will be of invaluable importance during the coming days. I should also like to thank the Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation for the outstanding way in which he conducted the affairs of the Council during the month of December. I want to join in the wishes expressed by the President and to extead ny congratulations to Mr. Boutros Ghali upon his assumption of the important post of Secretary-General of the United Nations. Just prior to the Madrid Conference an Israeli bus was attacked and two Israeli civilians were killed. Just before the last round of talks in Washington, Israeli vehicles were fired on.”
