  1. We continue to believe that it is the responsibility of the Security Council to strive towards a two-State solution whereby the Palestinians and the Israelis can live side by side in peace, based on the pre-l967 borders and with East Jerusalem as the capital of Palestine. It is our sincere hope that the views expressed here will be considered seriously by Council members for the sake of maintaining peace and security in the region.

  2. Malaysia believes that a legitimate political process is the only way forward in order to put an end to the illegal occupation ofPalestine and address all final-status issues in accordance with relevant Security Council and General Assembly resolutions and previous agreements. The stalled Middle East peace process serves only to exacerbate the current situation in Palestine, therefore credible conditions must be created in order to revive the peace process, based on the existing terms of reference to the two- State solution. Malaysia remains convinced that the ongoing occupation is the stumbling block to progress and development in the occupied Palestinian territories.

  3. The financial situation of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), compounded by the decision of the United States to cease its funding, remains deeply alarming. The discontinuation of funding to UNRWA would unravel 25 years of work and perseverance, not only by the United Nations and its agencies but by all other parties that have dedicated their lives to the name of peace and humanitarian assistance. Malaysia remains deeply concerned by the unilateral actions taken by the United States that further jeopardize the international consensus on the two-State solution.

  4. Malaysia commends the initiative taken by the OIC to convene the Open-Ended Extraordinary Meeting of the Executive Committee at the Level of Foreign Ministers on the Israeli Violations in the Occupied City of Al-Quds Al-Sharif, on 17 July. Israel's recent opening of the so-called Pilgrims Road tunnel, which was cut from under the village of Silwan to reach the Al-Aqsa Mosque, has sparked widespread indignation and anger across the OIC membership. The construction of the tunnel has not only resulted in the weakening of the structure of the mosque, but has also left 80 Palestinian homes in Silwan damaged, while dozens more are at risk of collapsing, forcing Palestinian families from their homes. Surely the international community cannot be expected to stand on the margins and continue to witness further destruction unfold?

  5. The international community must continue to call for the immediate reversal of negative trends on the ground that imperil the two-State solution. Israel must cease immediately and completely all illegal settlement activities in the occupied territories, as well as the continued illegal demolition of Palestinian homes. The ongoing escalation of violence in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, remains precarious. We condemn the continuous use of force by Israel against Palestinians. Those acts of provocation and incitement against the Palestinian people and holy sites in occupied East Jerusalem, including Al-Haram Al-Sharif, threaten the sanctity and stability of holy sites. The international community has a duty to collectively ensure that Israel's continued violations are put to an end.

  6. As we gather at today's quarterly open debate, Malaysia shares the concern, as reflected in the tenth report on the implementation of resolution 2334 (2016), that no steps have been taken by the occupying Power, in particular on the illegal settlement activities in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem. As we have pointed out on countless occasions, the ongoing expansion of Israeli settlements is a grave violation of resolution 2334 (2016), as well as of other United Nations resolutions. It constitutes a flagrant contravention of international law and international humanitarian law. Not only are such actions a threat to international peace and security, but they are nothing short of acts of defiance against the voice of the international community.

  7. First and foremost, I wish to commend you, Mr. President, for convening today's open debate, which allows Member States to participate and express their views on the worrying situation in the Middle East, in particular on the situation in the occupied Palestinian territory. Malaysia wishes to align itself with the statement delivered earlier by the representative of Uganda, on behalfofthe Organization ofIslamic Cooperation (OIC), and the statement to be delivered by the representative of the Bolivian Republic of Venezuela on behalf of the Movement of Non-Aligned Countries.
