  1. “We also have to make sure that such a settlement will be implemented, unlike past experiences. With that in mind, Türkiye has put forward the idea of a guarantorship mechanism. Such a mechanism will safeguard peace and prevent any breaches by any of the parties. That could be envisaged in the process leading to the final agreement and become a part of the package. From the statements of our many partners, we understand that such a mechanism is indeed needed and supported. Before concluding, let me invite all our friends and colleagues once again to join hands and minds to stop the ongoing atrocities without delay and reverse the historical injustices done to the Palestinian people, which is long overdue.”

  2. “Otherwise, the symptoms that we see today will be more catastrophic tomorrow. Eleven years ago today, we voted at the General Assembly to endorse the non-member observer State status of Palestine (General Assembly resolution 67/19). Once we allow the Palestinians to have their own functioning State with all the rights, privileges and capabilities of statehood, most of the challenges we face today will disappear. This time, we must all roll up our sleeves and finish the work with a peace process based on the two-State solution, which guarantees the ultimate safety of Israel and Palestine. Israel and Palestine should be able to live side by side in peace and security along the pre-1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as the capital of the State of Palestine.”

  3. “The outrage and frustration of those masses in the face of Israel’s atrocities run the risk of social upheaval in many countries. Their expectations of the Security Council are clear: it must ensure a ceasefire leading to a cessation of hostilities and enable unhindered humanitarian assistance into Gaza. The extension of the humanitarian pause in Gaza, as well as the exchange of hostages and detainees to that effect, are glimpses of hope. We are, however, following some scenarios about the day after with grave concerns. Those deliberations gave Israel further ammunition to uproot millions of Gazans from their homeland and impose an oppressive regime upon them. Therefore, we should translate this dark episode into an opportunity to address the root causes of the conflict.”

  4. “It was unable to call for an effective ceasefire with one voice. What is more, the Council cannot even present a remedy to undo the historical injustice that the Palestinians have suffered for many decades. That paralysis will surely reverberate through the Council’s ability to cope with other global crises and further erode its credibility in the eyes of humankind. It also wrecks the rules-based international system upon which the United Nations was established. Without international law, principles and a moral compass, we are all in unchartered waters. If we do not fix the problem soon, we will all be haunted yet again by aggravated radicalism of all sorts, which will be feeding on impunity and injustice. Millions of people all around the world are rallying in solidarity with Palestine.”

  5. “Let me start by thanking China’s presidency of the Security Council this month for convening this meeting. We meet on the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People to talk about yet another catastrophe that that noble and resilient nation endures. Almost all speakers before me addressed the gravity of the human tragedy in Gaza. Israel’s brutal attacks on Gaza and its population constitute war crimes. We urge all civilized nations to disassociate themselves from those crimes. In such dire times, we need strong global institutions to enforce international law and protect the moral compass of humanity. Unfortunately, the Security Council has yet again failed to fulfil its responsibility to maintain international peace and security, despite being entrusted by the Charter of the United Nations to do so.”
