  1. “A negotiated two-State solution is the only viable peace plan that will provide a just and lasting peace and allow both Israelis and Palestinians to live side by side in peace.”

  2. “Confidence must be restored among Palestinians that Israel is not attempting to alter the status quo, and the Palestinian leadership must condemn all terrorist acts and do its utmost to prevent violence. Looking at the bigger picture, continued violent acts committed by individual Palestinians against Israeli citizens must cease, and Israeli settlements must come to an end if the two-State solution is to remain viable. The aim of resolution 2334 (2016), which implemented several conclusions of the 2016 Quartet report, was indeed to protect the two-State solution from further erosion, particularly by Israeli settlements policy. The regular reporting to the Security Council under the resolution is an important injection of accountability.”

  3. “I would like to thank the Chinese presidency for convening this meeting. I thank you, Ambassador Liu, for your personal presence here during the whole meeting. Iwould also like to express ourthanks to Mr. Nickolay Mladenov for his frank and informative assessment. Iceland, like others, has been deeply concerned by rising tensions related to events around Al-Haram al-Sharif/Temple Mount, where violence has escalated in recent days. We are encouraged by the decision of the Israeli Government to remove metal detectors from the Al-Aqsa area, hopefully defusing the situation. Political leaders on both sides carry a heavy responsibility to continue to reduce tensions, with the assistance of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. Religious leaders also have a significant role to play.”

  4. “The importance of getting women involved in peace processes was proclaimed by the Council earlier this month, when it marked the fifteenth anniversary of the adoption of resolution 1325 (2000) (see S/PV.7533). In the short term, Palestinians need a sense of security for their own people. The Security Council should look at ways of bringing that about. Palestinians also need confidence that there is a political route to the two- State solution within a finite time period. Israelis must have confidence that their security is not compromised. The urgency is redoubled by the religious dimension, which has become more present since the violence at the holy places in Jerusalem. It is vital that the status quo be maintained, not only in word but also in deed.”

  5. “But the deep distrust that exists between the two parties puts a large question mark over whether de-escalation is possible without external assistance. One Security Council member has commented on the tendency for each side to highlight the provocations and acts of violence by the other side, while seeking to minimize its own actions. There is little chance in the present situation that Palestinians could see the Israeli forces as acting even-handedly. The Council should look at ways to assist in starting on the long road back to some kind ofmutual confidence between the parties. In that regard, we should not forget the huge potential that exists in involving women on all sides.”

  6. “These ongoing developments on the ground have a key significance for the wider context of this conflict. They add up to the dangerous undermining of the only viable course to peace - a two-State solution. Yes, there is incitement - on both sides, through the social media, according to Assistant Secretary- General Zerihoun. But incitement also has a context. Incitement is a part of the violence and is facilitated and given credibility by the wider context of loss of political perspective and a growing despair among the Palestinian population and fear among Israeli civilians. Political leaders on both sides bear a heavy responsibility to encourage restraint. It is vital that the Council respond urgently and effectively to this crisis. There must be de-escalation and a cessation of all violence from both sides.”

  7. “I would like to thank the Spanish presidency for convening today's meeting. Icelandjoins others in expressing grave concern at the present spike in violence in the occupied State of Palestine, including East Jerusalem, and in Israel. Acts of terror are unacceptable in all circumstances. As has been stated, these acts of violence do not occur in a vacuum. Assistant Secretary-General Taye- Brook Zerihoun highlighted a number of key elements of the context in his briefing to the Security Council last week (S/PV.7536). Among them, he identified demolitions of Palestinian dwellings, ongoing settlements, heavy-handed Israeli military action against civilians and the blockade of Gaza. Collective punishment of the Palestinian population is not only a breach of international law, but it is also demonstrably counterproductive.”
