  4. “I would remind all speakers to ensure that their statements do not exceed four minutes in order to enable the Council to carry out its business in a timely, efficient and expeditious manner. I would request that delegations with lengthy statements distribute those texts in the Chamber and speak within the allotted four-minute time frame. I would also request that speakers bear in mind that the speed of delivery of statements needs to be reasonable so that interpreters can follow them. I also wish to inform everyone concerned that, as we have a large number of speakers, we will proceed with today's open debate through the lunch hour. (spoke in Arabic) I now give the floor to the representative of Lebanon.”

  5. “I would like to thank the Permanent Representative of New Zealand for his service and to wish him the best of luck in the years to come, as I do for the representative of the United Kingdom. I thank them both for their invaluable contributions. We will all need their wisdom and wise counsel in the future and hope they will not be stinting with their advice.”

  6. “Through peace, I think that end will be achieved. (spoke in Arabic) In conclusion, I would stress that Jordan will continue to act resolutely to strengthen relations of cooperation and friendship between the peoples of the world. We will continue with our message ofpromoting international peace and security and confronting despair and hatred under one human umbrella. History, geography and a common future link us all. Together, we will be able to build the basis of mutual respect for the benefit of all future generations. I now resume my functions as President of the Security Council. I shall now give the floor to the members of the Council.”

  7. “I would advise the Ambassador to revisit the Arab Peace Initiative and look at the elements that we still are committed to in the Arab world. Like I said, that will not only ensure peace between Israel and the Palestinians, but between Israel and the entire Arab world. Given all the dynamics within and beyond the region, especially the threat of terror and extremism, the Palestinian question remains the essence and the root cause of much of the instability that we see in our part of the world. It is through resolving the Palestinian/ Israeli conflict and achieving peace and security for all the peoples and States of the region, especially Israel, that we will be able to collectively deal with the dangers and threats that we all face as a region. Israel must become part of the region, not just be in the region.”

  8. “I think that what we need to examine today is the set of decisions needed to create peace, not to look for excuses not to do that. The Arab Peace Initiative, as I am sure the Ambassador will appreciate, contains all the elements needed to ensure that peace is sustainable, but for that peace to take shape and be implemented, will power and good intentions are needed. With all due respect for the television shows that people watch, whether it is House of Cards or Pride and Prejudice, at the end of the day the reality on the ground requires that we all put our differences aside and that we launch a substantive time-bound, peace-negotiating process that will ensure the end that we all seek, namely, the two-State solution.”

  9. “In light of the changes taking place in the region we are following the framework agreement agreed to between the P5+l on the Iranian nuclear file. We have always emphasized the need for a peaceful solution, while asserting the right of people to make peaceful use of nuclear energy. We hope that the final contour of the agreement will consolidate peace and security in our region and the world, and will lead to solving many other issues. (spoke in English) I will switch to English for a couple of minutes as I address the question of the need to arrive at a peaceful settlement to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. In anticipation of the formation of the new Israeli Cabinet and given the situation in the region, I would like to mention to the Ambassador of Israel that the region has never been short of excuses not to do things.”

  10. “We must pave the way for the return of harmony and stability to those sisterly Arab States whose social fabric has been harmed. We are descending into violence and radicalism. In that connection, we would like to affirm our support for the current Iraqi Government and Prime Minster Mr. Haider Al Abadi in their combat against terrorism and in their quest to eliminate criminal gangs from Iraqi territory. We also support their efforts to achieve national reconciliation. We are equidistant to all components of Iraqi society. We state that the participation of all of the components of Iraqi society in a substantive process, not the marginalization of any of those elements, is necessary for the success of those efforts. Iraq is a sisterly, neighbouring State to Jordan. Its security is our security.”

  11. “Here, I would like to emphasize the need for immediate and collective work, as I have mentioned, as well as for developing a comprehensive strategy that includes military and political aspects, the renewal of religious speech, the rectification of erroneous concepts and ideas adopted by people, as well as the launching of cultural campaigns that address people's minds and use sound logic. The modern-day Khawarij, with their terrorist gangs and their radicalism, are expanding because of underdevelopment and the inequitable distribution of wealth, a political vacuum and the presence of sectarian and religious strife among the different strata of society and within States. That makes it necessary not to allow any such imbalances in our countries.”

  12. “These are the values that I teach my children and that they hand on to theirs." Therefore, I would like to say once again that the ideological war will be long, involving many fields and different levels. It is a war launched by an enlightened ideology against a retarded ideology that calls for killing and assassination. This requires a collective effort and cooperation among all States that agree with these lofty goals with a view to protecting themselves from the dangers of terrorism and radicalism.”

  13. “Therefore allow to me reiterate the words of His Majesty King Abdullah II in his statement before the European Parliament: "All my life, every day, I have heard and used the greeting, Assalamu aleikum, a wish for the other to be blessed with peace. That is what it means to be a Muslim. More than a thousand years before the Geneva Conventions, Muslim soldiers were ordered not to kill a child, a woman or an old person, not to destroy a tree, not to harm a priest, not to destroy a church. These are the same values of Islam that we were taught in school as children: not to destroy or desecrate a place where God is worshipped, not a mosque, not a church, not a synagogue. This is what it means to be a Muslim.”

  14. “We welcome the dialogue between the Libyan brothers, hosted by Morocco, and we support Mr. Bernadino Leon's efforts. We hope that they will succeed. In recent years, the danger of terrorism has been on the rise in our region and the world. Criminal and terrorist gangs under different names and forms, such as Daesh, Al-Shabaab in the Horn of Africa, Boko Haram and Al-Qaida, have hijacked tolerant Islam and distorted its image. Our religion is innocent of such violence. All religions have a peaceful message. Those gangs perpetrate their horrendous crimes in the name of our great religion of Islam, but they are unrelated to it. Islam provides a model for cherishing human dignity and life and the rights of man, for respecting dialogue and for accepting the other.”

  15. “We reiterate our call for full commitment to the implementation of resolution 2016 (2015), an immediate end to the violence and unilateral actions, rejection of any violent overthrow of power, the normalization of the situation in Yemen and a return to the political track and dialogue, in accordance with the Gulf Initiative. The Kingdom of Jordan emphasizes the need to help sisterly Libya to consolidate its security, sovereignty and stability, as well as to support the elected Parliament and the Government, as they are considered the basis of legitimacy, and we encourage national dialogue among the Libyan national parties that reject violence and radicalism. The adoption of resolution 2214 (2015), submitted by Jordan, is part and parcel of that effort.”

  16. “We support political legitimacy in sisterly Yemen, which is embodied in President Abdrabuh Mansour Hadi Mansour, and reiterate our full endorsement of the resolutions adopted at the most recent Arab summit, held last month in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, which emphasize support for legitimacy in Yemen and assistance in accordance with the joint Arab defence initiative and Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations, and reject any attempt to undermine the legitimacy, territorial integrity and political independence of Yemen.”

  17. “It should also preserve Syria's territorial integrity and political sovereignty and allow for the voluntary return of Syrian refugees, particularly those in neighboring States. On this matter, we will elaborate in extenso at the briefing on 24 April. I wish to express our appreciation of the efforts of the Special Envoy of the Secretary-General for Syria, Mr. Staffan de Mistura, to find a political solution to the Syrian crisis. Jordan is hosting more than 1.5 million Syrian citizens, with whom we share our limited resources. This task has overburdened Jordan's economy and exceeds its capacities. In that regard, I thank all those brothers who have assisted us, particularly Kuwait, for its significant efforts in hosting three pledging conferences.”

  18. “The tragedy being endured by Syria has entered its fifth year and is deteriorating day by day. Killings, assassinations and destruction persist in that country. This tragedy feeds radicalism, criminality and terrorism, which are outlawed by all international conventions and religions. Consequently, we have to press ahead in finding a political solution in Syria, which, as we have stressed since the beginning of the crisis, is the only way to meet the aspirations of the Syrian people and achieve political transformation into a new reality in which all Syrian parties will take part. Such a solution would be based on the outcomes of the first Geneva negotiations, restore stability to Syria and uproot terrorism in that country, which is now reaching beyond its borders.”

  19. “They should be complemented by commitment to avoiding any unilateral action that would prejudge the outcome, including settlement activities, which are illegitimate in the eyes of the entire world. We will pursue our efforts a member of the Security Council and President this month - in addition to our membership in the Arab ministerial committee entrusted to consult with international parties - to lauch serious negotiations between the Israeli and Palestinian parties and to conclude an international agreement within parameters that all parties can agree upon, including the possible adoption of a unanimous Security Council resolution that identifies a time-table for the negotiations to end the occupation and achieve the two- State solution, we are conducting requisite negotiations on this score through the aforementioned ministerial committee by maintaing contacts with all interested parties and States.”

  20. “It is no secrect that any reduction in the Agency's services will be tantamount to making an indirect call on hosts countries to make up for these services, and these States can not bear this burden. As to the Gaza Strip, Jordan calls on the international community to lift the suffocating Israeli blockade on Gaza, put an end to the deteriorating humanitarian tragedy and make a serious effort to achieve reconstruction. This is our collective duty in the face of the suffering imposed on the beleagered children of the Strip. We call for concerted efforts to resume direct negotiations in order to achieve the two-State solution and find a comprehensive settlement. These negotiations must be earnest, characterized by good intentions and time-bound.”

  21. “Protecting their legitimate rights, as dictated by international law, is a core responsibility. As a host country, we have rights and duties imposed on us by the massive burdens that we have borne since the Palestinians became refugees. I would like to express here my deep appreciation to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) for its ongoing efforts in support of Palestinian refugees in our region. Additionally, I the great burden of our expenditures in supporting the Palestinian refugees, which exceed the UNRWA budget. We continue to emphasize the need for an immediate and lasting solution of UNRWA's budget problems and deficit. This is the only way to allow UNRWA to continue its work and programmes until a final solution to the question of the Palestinians refugees is reached.”

  22. “Regarding occupied East Jerusalem, as well as Muslim and Christian holy sites, in line with his Majesty and Jordan's oversight role in East Jerusalem, we will continue to make every effort to preserve and protect them, in particular Al-Haram al- Sharif and the Al-Aqsa Mosque. Furthermore, we will not compromise on any Israeli infractions on this matter and will take the appropriate legal and diplomatic measures to counter them. In accordance with relevant Security Council resolutions, Jordan will continue to preserve the Arab character of East Jerusalem and its position as a city under Israeli occupation. Concerning Palestinian refugees, we host the greatest number of Palestinians living in the diaspora, the majority of whom are Jordanian citizens, and support their inalienable status as refugees.”

  23. “There are legitimate international reference points to support that View. The Kingdom of Jordan is close to Palestine and its citizens, and its situation impacts us directly. Jordan is not a mere observer or mediator in the peace process but has a real and tangible interest in achieving peace through serious and committed negotiations based on a timetable conducive both to bringing about the two- State solution and to tackling all substantive issues, including the status of Jerusalem, refugees, security, borders and water, inter alia. All those issues affect the interests of Jordan in accordance with the principles of international legitimacy and the Arab Peace Initiative, and must be resolved in a manner that fully satisfies vital Jordanian interests.”

  24. “Supported by the leadership of His Majesty King Abdullah II and relying on the policies of Jordan, which reflect the voice of logic, wisdom and balance in an ever-changing hotbed of tension, we intend to use our position productively in pursuit of those noble goals. The Kingdom of Jordan is presiding over the Council at a delicate stage, when multiple, shifting challenges demand an instantaneous response in the face of constant change. We would therefore like to reiterate that failure to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict through a two-State solution, whereby a fully sovereign, independent State of Palestine would be established on Palestinian soil along the borders of 4 June 1967, with Al-Quds-al-Sharif as its capital, would intensify the dangers to our region.”

  25. “I will now make a statement in my national capacity. I am honoured to preside over today's meeting of the Security Council on the situation in the Middle East, including the question of Palestine. We would like to take this opportunity to emphasize Jordan's commitment, in particular through its membership in and presidency of the Council this month, to continue working with other members to achieve the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations with respect to the maintenance and preservation of international peace and security, as well as international harmony and stability.”
