  1. “Finally, the Palestinian people should, in all fairness, be recognized for their courage in the face of adversity and the double standards of the international community.”

  2. “International law prevents Israel from invoking conquest and colonization, and to a lesser extent, natural growth to the detriment of neighbouring peoples. The expulsion of the Palestinian people from their own lands is completely inexcusable and constitutes a violation, unparalleled by any episode of modern history, of the most basic principle of humanitarian law. Our Government has, in this context, insisted on the need to consider Chapter II, in particular Articles 5 and 6, of the United Nations Charter. The Israeli Government has for some time now acted outside the principles of the United Nations and international law and cannot expect to develop its new concept of so-called natural growth with impunity.”

  3. “The impediments placed in the way of Palestinians in using their land to build homes and engage in agriculture constitute an attack on economic development, which results in a deteriorating situation that poses an ongoing threat to the establishment of a Palestinian State. The repeated violations, acts of aggression and other Israeli activities against Lebanon also constitute an obvious destabilization policy by Israel in the region. The permanent violation of air space, territory and the territorial waters of Lebanon, as described by the Permanent Representative of Lebanon on 3 March, confirm that these new and continued threats are clearly non-compliant with resolution 1701 (2006). Similarly, we support the Government of Syria in its demand for compliance with resolution 497 (1981) on the Syrian Golan Heights.”

  4. “On 24 March, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, addressing the Security Council (see S/PV.6292), stressed that almost all recent disturbances between Israelis and Palestinians have taken place in areas where Israeli forces are present in Palestinian- populated areas. I should make it clear too that the Prime Minister of Israel has ignored the requests of the United Nations and the international community to freeze settlement activity. The closure of Gaza continues to be an unacceptable and inhumane situation that must be rectified immediately. We also support President Mahmoud Abbas's demand that Palestinian institutions in East Jerusalem be reopened.”

  5. “Here, we are against the closures in Gaza and of other border crossings, because they are a violation of international humanitarian law. It is striking that, although on the one hand the Government of Israel has advocated a two-State solution, on the other it announces the construction of homes on Palestinian territory for the Israeli occupiers. In clear violation of international humanitarian law, Israel has engaged in the persecution, detention and deportation of any Palestinian residing in the West Bank. Also, no less than 70,000 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip are now at risk of being separated from their families, their land, their livelihood and their social milieu.”

  6. “The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela is convinced of the need for a final, lasting, negotiated solution that will put an end to violence in the region without undermining the rights of peoples including their free and legitimate right to protect their sovereignty. This conflict poses a threat to international peace, and we therefore support initiatives that promote possible talks. To that end it is important to build mutual trust, within the framework of the Road Map, which has a most relevant role to play. But the Government of Israel must put an end to its settlement policies and accept East Jerusalem as the Palestinian capital. My Government firmly supports the Palestinian Authority State-building programme.”

  7. “Mr. De Las Ovalles Colmenares (Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela) (spoke in Spanish): I wish to join in the expressions of distress and condolences on the earthquake suffered by the fraternal People's Republic of China. We wish also to thank you, Sir, for the manner in which you have presided over the work of the Security Council and to congratulate you on having convened this debate on the situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian question, under your presidency. My delegation associates itself with the statement made earlier today by the representative of Egypt on behalf of the Non-Aligned Movement.”
