  1. The Republic of Korea expresses its strong support for the ongoing efforts by the international community to meet the humanitarian and development needs of the Palestinian people. In that regard, the Korean Government remains steadfast in its support for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, including contributions for vocational, educational and food-assistance activities. The Republic of Korea reaffirms its strong commitment to its constructive role in advancing peace and stability in the region, and we remain hopeful that a lasting solution can be found.

  2. Reiterating its support for the two-State solution, in accordance with the relevant Security Council resolutions, international law and bilateral agreements, my delegation hopes that those positive signs will translate into concrete and constructive steps, including the resumption of good-faith negotiations. We believe that a negotiated sustainable political solution is the only way to achieve lasting peace in the region. My delegation also echoes the Secretary-General’s statement welcoming the signing of the Algiers declaration by 14 Palestinian factions on 13 October, and we hope that it will provide impetus towards intra-Palestinian reconciliation. My delegation expresses its grave concern about the deteriorating humanitarian and economic situation in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.

  3. My delegation also notes with serious concern that this year has recorded the highest number of Palestinian fatalities since 2008. Furthermore, it is still worrisome that there has been little progress in the implementation of resolution 2334 (2016) and that the advancement of Israeli settlements, demolitions and evictions continue on the ground. Such actions will only exacerbate tensions, erode trust and undermine the foundation for a political solution. Amid those various challenges, the Republic of Korea welcomes some recent positive developments. We note that both the Israeli and the Palestinian sides reaffirmed their support for the two-State solution on the margins of the seventy-seventh session of the General Assembly last month.

  4. At the outset, I would like to thank you, Madam President, for convening today’s open debate. In addition, my delegation thanks the United Nations Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, Mr. Tor Wennesland, for his briefing. My Government appreciates his ongoing efforts and complete dedication to bring peace to the region. My delegation is deeply concerned about the ongoing settler-related violence in the West Bank and in and around Jerusalem. All acts of violence perpetrated by any side, especially against civilians, cannot be justified. My delegation condemns all terrorist attacks in the strongest terms. Any violence against civilians must stop immediately, and those who are responsible for such acts must be held accountable.
