1. “More than 90 per cent of damaged schools and hospitals have been repaired, while repairs have either been completed or are ongoing on about half of all partially damaged homes. The key challenge is reconstruction of those homes - indeed, those neighborhoods - that were completely destroyed during the war, and in that regard progress has been slow. Reviving the economy and productive sectors also remains a major outstanding task. Donors need to accelerate efforts to translate pledges into disbursements, particularly for housing reconstruction. And let us not forget that repairing the damage from the most recent hostilities will not fix the underlying chronic problems of Gaza. Last week's global launch of humanitarian funding appeals included a $57l-million projected funding needed for Palestine.”

2. “Such acts are a clear violation of international law, aggravate an already tense environment and may be counterproductive. Turning to Gaza, during the past month, Palestinian militants fired lO rockets towards Israel, two of which impacted Israeli territory, Without injury. Palestinian militants in Gaza also conducted cross-border shooting at the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) on two occasions. The IDF retaliated with four airstrikes. The United Nations reiterates its condemnation of the firing of rockets by militants from Gaza towards Israel. These indiscriminate attacks on civilian areas must stop. Despite persistent security, governance challenges and funding shortages, the reconstruction process is advancing.”

3. “The injustices associated with an occupation that shows no prospect of ending feed into a perspective - particularly among young people - that they have nothing to lose by sacrificing their lives. Palestinians continue to endure extensive movement restrictions, intensified by the ongoing violence, that negatively impact access to basic services and livelihoods. Ongoing demolitions against Palestinian communities in the Jordan valley, such as in Al-Hadidiya village a few days ago, remain troubling - all the more so as the relief provided to these households has been repeatedly seized by the Israeli security forces, despite the onset of winter. Israeli authorities have also carried out two punitive demolitions against the families of those convicted or accused of attacks.”

4. “Tensions have calmed around the flashpoint of Al-Haram al-Sharif/Temple Mount, and efforts are under way to implement the understandings reached between Israel and Jordan The situation remains precarious and requires both sides to maintain an active and open communication. Perceived impunity for settler violence against Palestinians has also driven Violence. On a positive note, four months after the Dawabsha family was brutally murdered, a number of arrests have been made. I take this opportunity to underscore the need to charge and swiftly bring the perpetrators of that terrible crime to justice. At the same time, grave concerns persist on a range of issues that continue to undermine prospects for ending the violence and rebuilding trust.”

5. “Hebron continues to be a hotspot and the most volatile component of the current escalation. On behalf of the Secretary-General, I reiterate the United Nations firm condemnation of all terrorist attacks. Leaders on all sides have the responsibility to stop incitement and to consistently and unequivocally stand against acts of terror and violence in all its forms. The current circumstances should not be accepted as the new normal. Israelis and Palestinians should not be resigned to living under the threat of violence. However, a comprehensive strategy to limit that threat cannot rely uniquely on enhanced security measures; it must also address the primary elements motivating Palestinian anger. I am pleased to report some positive developments in this regard.”

6. “Mr. Jenea: Some two months ago, the Secretary- General visited Jerusalem and Ramallah to support collective efforts to stop the violence that had begun to erupt in Israel, the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and Gaza. It is sad that over the past few weeks, despite a decline in attacks, the bloodshed has not stopped. with some 7 Israelis and 34 Palestinians having been killed during the reporting period. Stabbings, vehicle attacks and shootings by Palestinians targeting Israelis continue to claim victims on an almost daily basis - including, just two days ago, serious injury to a one-and-a-half- year-old baby, one of eleven victims of a car-ramming in Jerusalem - as suspected assailants are shot and killed in return and clashes continue to result in Palestinian deaths.”
