  1. “We note the importance of respecting the status-of-forces agreement. At the same time, we believe it important to determine the causes of the tension and to work with the parties to avoid similar incidents in the future. In view of the imminent extension of the UNISFA mandate, we note the importance of the presence of Blue Helmets in Abyei at this stage. However, we believe that it is important to consider the Secretariat’s proposals on the configuration of the mission, including its national composition, in a manner that takes into account the views of Khartoum and Juba.”

  2. “Thabo Mbeki delivered a very inspiring briefing today. We trust that the African Union High- Level Implementation Panel will continue engaging meaningfully with the Sudanese sides. We attach great importance to the activities of the United Nations Interim Security Force for Abyei (UNISFA) in establishing constructive relations among communities on the ground and promoting national reconciliation. We believe that the Joint Border Verification and Monitoring Mechanism (JBVMM) is the linchpin for preventing incidents among the parties and UNISFA support for the JBVMM is crucial to the security architecture. In that regard, we are concerned by information about the situation of UNISFA peacekeepers in Gok Machar. We trust that the Blue Helmets will soon return to their positions.”

  3. “In that connection, we welcome the resumption of contact among representatives of the Sudan and South Sudan at various levels and the willingness demonstrated by the parties to establish mutually beneficial cooperation. We note the dialogue between the parties on opening border crossings and establishing free-trade zones along the border. The Joint Political and Security Mechanism met for the first time in almost a year. That represents progress, albeit modest, towards reaching the so-called benchmarks. Efforts aimed at their implementation must continue. We hope that the dialogue that has begun will become more regular, which would help in reaching agreement on defining the final status of Abyei. Progress on the political track will help to improve the difficult humanitarian situation of the people. Mr.”

  4. “Mr. Khoroshev (Russian Federation) (spoke in Russian): We thank today’s briefers — Under- Secretary-General Jean-Pierre Lacroix, Special Envoy Parfait Onanga-Anyanga and the Chairperson of the African Union High-Level Implementation Panel, Thabo Mbeki — for their comprehensive briefings. We are pleased to note that, according to the most recent report of the Secretary-General (S/2021/881), the situation in Abyei remains generally stable. At the same time, it is worrisome that threats to security persist, especially for civilians, from armed groups and intercommunal clashes. In order to make progress towards an inter-Sudanese settlement that results in a determination of the final status of Abyei, the parties must pool their efforts.”

  5. “We cherish the hope that it will be an important first step towards a qualitative improvement in the current deadlocked status quo.”

  6. “We believe that, in order to overcome the crisis, it is important to have the Palestinian problem back in the focus of attention of the new Israeli leadership, and also to have elections convened in the Palestinian territories. We also consider it important to continue to build an international consensus on a fair solution to the Palestinian problem. An important role in this regard is played by the Quartet, which remains the only internationally recognized mechanism to assist the Palestinian-Israeli settlement process. We also attribute great importance to Egypt’s efforts aimed at overcoming intra-Palestinian disunity, which is a precondition for reviving the peace process. In particular, we welcome the recent summit between Palestine, Jordan and Egypt, which took place in Cairo.”

  7. “The Palestinians cannot cope with it alone. We give particular importance to providing comprehensive humanitarian assistance to those in need in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip as well as to Palestinian refugees in neighbouring Arab States. We support the efforts of relevant international organizations, including the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East. We continue to work with the parties in conflict, as well as with interested international players in the region. For example, on 9 September, Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov met with the new Israeli Foreign Minister, Mr. Lapid.”

  8. “It was noteworthy that the vast majority of all those who mentioned the Middle East settlement process spoke in favour of the two-State solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and confirmed that the approaches of the international community to the issue remain unchanged. Regrettably, levels of tension in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip remain high. In that regard, we urge both sides to show restraint and reject unilateral steps and provocative actions. We believe that the main immediate challenge is to provide urgent humanitarian assistance to all those in need and to the victims on the Gaza Strip. There is also a need to step up efforts to assist Palestinian authorities in addressing socioeconomic difficulties. The coronavirus disease pandemic continues to have an adverse effect in that area.”

  9. “We urge Israeli authorities to refrain from unilateral steps, which would create an irreversible situation on the ground. Nonetheless, we understand the need to consider Israel’s natural security concerns. In that regard, we are of the view that the top priority is to attain lasting stability and for parties to refrain from provocative and unilateral actions. It is also important to create the conditions for the peace process to be revived on the broadly recognized international legal basis, including the two-State solution. It is important to underscore that similar positions were put forward by world leaders during the general debate of the General Assembly.”

  10. “Mr. Khoroshev (Russian Federation) (spoke in Russian): We thank Mr. Tor Wennesland for his informative briefing. We listened carefully to the briefings by Ms. Mai Farsakh and Ms. Meredith Rothbart. The stalled Middle East peace process, compounded by the fact that its core issue, the Palestinian question, remains unresolved, creates a constant hotbed of tensions in the region. Following the escalation of violence in May, the pressing issues are maintaining the ceasefire, providing humanitarian assistance to Palestinian victims and reviving the peace process. Potentially dangerous unilateral actions are ongoing — the expropriation and demolition of Palestinian property, settlement building, arbitrary arrests and violations of holy sites and violence.”
