  1. “It is all the more unfortunate that only one delegation keeps preventing the Council from pronouncing itself on such an important issue that relates to international peace and security in one of the most important and sensitive regions. We hope that all members of the Council recognize the need to take decisive action in the face of the new tension in the region and do not choose to allow further paralysis of the Council and erosion of its authority as a result of failing to address the grave situation created in the wake of the recent extrajudicial killings by Israel.”

  2. “While strongly condemning this latest criminal Israeli act, we believe there is an absolute need for the international community to heavily weigh in and prevent Israel from carrying out its nefarious designs against Palestinians that will further jeopardize peace and security in the whole region. This Council especially shoulders the heaviest responsibility and should act with a view to preventing Israel from continuing to flout the will of the international community, incorporated in numerous United Nations resolutions. It is very sad that this Council has yet to reach an agreement on the way to prevent Israel from committing numerous crimes.”

  3. “Extrajudicial killings and targeted assassinations, coupled with other Israeli war crimes and acts of State terrorism such as the construction of the expansionist wall, the announcement of land annexation, the wanton destruction of homes, infrastructure and agricultural lands, the detention and imprisonment of thousands of Palestinians and the imposition of collective punishment on the entire Palestinian population will have the sole result of rendering the situation in the region more tense and explosive. The assassination of Sheikh Ahmed Yassin and Mr. Abdel Aziz Al-Rantisi are two consecutive flagrant crimes that have created more instability and could plunge the region into another round of violence. They are deliberate acts aimed at defeating any attempt to bring peace to the region.”

  4. “At a time when the international community needs to pull together with a view to effectively combating global terrorism, the Israeli occupation and the criminal acts to sustain it, including extrajudicial killings, undermine the rule of law and cooperation among nations, which are the sine qua non in fighting terrorism. There is no doubt that what Israel did and has avowed to keep doing was a bonanza for the terrorists like those who perpetrated the act of terrorism in Madrid last month - acts that enable global terrorism to unfortunately grow further.”

  5. “The continued criminal acts, coupled with the recent announcement of its annexation of part of the occupied territory, which amounts to killing the road map, are indicative of the fact that the Israeli regime has always sought to preclude any just and viable peace in the region that would presume the restoration of the basic rights of the Palestinians. The Israelis are fully aware that each crime they commit will be the onset of a new cycle of violence of the kind they repeated and indeed intentionally provoked in the course of the past several years.”

  6. “Abdel Aziz Al-Rantisi is along the line of the nefarious attempts and ongoing State acts of terrorism by Israel to hold onto the territory under its occupation and to keep a people under its brutal control for many decades - a people who have, in turn, no option other than to continue their rightful resistance. In this context, I need to stress that the situation that Israel is mired in stems from the occupation and its unlawful policies and practices. Therefore Israel's attempt to attribute the problems it has created itself to other countries in the region is a futile and irresponsible exercise. By committing the latest assassination, Israel registered in its record yet another case of serious violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention, which amounts to another war crime.”

  7. “Let me begin by congratulating you, Sir, on assuming the presidency of the Council this month and thanking you for having convened this public meeting on the grave situation in the occupied Palestinian territory. I should not fail to express my appreciation to the Ambassador of France for his able and effective conduct of the work of the Security Council in the month of March. Once more, another atrocious crime by the Israeli regime has prompted the Security Council to hold another emergency public meeting. The extrajudicial killing of Mr.”
