“Through our upcoming membership of the Security Council, we are also determined to work intensively to place a higher emphasis on dialogue, prevention and principles based on the peaceful settlement of disputes.”

“Fourthly, adequate resources to ensure that regional mechanisms can meet their commitments are critical. Responding to the proposals of the High Representative for the AU Peace Fund, the Secretary- General has pointed to financial options to support AU-initiated peace-support operations. It is essential that the Council also play its part in addressing that issue. In that regard, we support the draft resolution on financing African Union-led peace-support operations currently being discussed by Council members. In conclusion, I would like to reiterate that Indonesia will continue to play an active role in helping to facilitate a better harnessing of the regional expertise and networks of influence.”

“It is also imperative that the Security Council maintain the practice of dialogue involving all countries concerned with a view to finding a lasting solution to the problem that is acceptable to all the countries involved. Thirdly, even when regional organizations are fully determined to play their role, they can do only so much if the Security Council does not stand by the principles of the Charter of the United Nations, international law and international humanitarian law, based on the spirit of multilateralism. Just as regional arrangements must not hold back in advancing credible and regionally owned solutions to sustaining peace, the Council must not hold back in enlisting their support, as well as in upholding the Charter and international law.”

“In that regard, we welcome the focus to enhance substantive interaction and practical frameworks between the United Nations and ASEAN, as well as with the AU and other regional organizations. Secondly, countries in the regions, particularly those that have an important bearing on conflicts, must act responsibly and become part of the solution. One of the observations in the Secretary-General's report on United Nations activities in support of mediation (A/72/115) is that there has been a substantial rise in the regionalization and internationalization of conflicts, complicating their resolution. The zero-sum approach must be renounced. Helping to ensure that peace prevails will ultimately benefit everyone.”

“In that connection, we believe that greater recourse to Chapter VI and Chapter VIII of the Charter of the United Nations holds tremendous potential for making the world more peaceful and stable. Let me highlight several issues that need to be taken into consideration in order to improve cooperation between the United Nations and regional and subregional arrangements for the prevention and peaceful resolution of conflicts. First, the restructuring of the United Nations peace and security pillar should place a stronger emphasis on cooperation with regional and subregional organizations. Regular and meaningful consultation among the United Nations and regional organizations is critical.”

“As a founding member of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), Indonesia has always promoted the role of regional and subregional organizations in fostering peace. Indonesia also strongly supports interregional engagement between South-East Asia and all other regions. With its three pillars of political-security community, economic community, and sociocultural community, ASEAN has truly become an ecosystem of collective peace and prosperity. Relying exclusively on the peaceful settlement of disputes, ASEAN's many mechanisms of cooperation and cross-fertilization under the three pillars have led to virtually no conflict in the region and provided robust peace dividends for development.”

“Indeed, on 20 November, in this Chamber, we heard how the African Union (AU), guided by its Agenda 2063 and its Silencing the Guns by 2020 initiative, was making an increasingly significant impact, but we also heard repeated emphasis on strong cooperation and support among the countries of the region, as well as from the United Nations and other international partners (see S/PV.8407). For its part, Indonesia remains determined to stand shoulder to shoulder with Africa. Our partnership with Africa has only become stronger since the historic Bandung Conference of 1955, thanks to ongoing mutual trust and our respect for African countries as they chart their priorities. The partnership is currently made manifest through numerous multifaceted support programmes.”

“We congratulate Cote d'Ivoire on assuming the presidency of the Security Council for the month of December and for convening today's important debate. We consider the proposed topic for today's debate to be pertinent to the overall workings of the United Nations in terms of addressing various challenges faced by its members. It is well established that regional organizations, because of their particular sense of history and culture and the strong bonds that often exist among countries, not only know the root causes of conflicts best but they are also well positioned to resolve such conflicts peacefully.”

“Lastly, as a true partner for world peace, we are committed to ensuring strong institutions, linking peace and development and strengthening cooperation, as they are crucial to achieving peace.”

“Indonesia is committed to continuing to increase the number of female peacekeepers. Indonesian peacekeeping contingents are among the largest, totalling more than 3,500 personnel, of which 72 are female peacekeepers. We are currently training 40 additional female peacekeepers, who will be deployed in the next few months, bringing the total to 112 female peacekeepers. Indonesia continues to encourage the participation of and to prepare more female peacekeepers, including by integrating the gender perspective into the work of the United Nations peacekeeping operations in which it takes part and as part of the regular curriculum of the Indonesian Peacekeeping Mission Centre in Sentul.”

“Respect for religious differences, guarantees of religious freedom and mechanisms for conflict prevention are some of the key indicators that qualify villages for seed capital to develop specific products for their village, with training and financial resources. Indonesia is ready to share the initiative and develop partnerships with other countries as well as the United Nations. Thirdly, we are aware that women peacekeepers account for only about 3 per cent of the total number of troops on the ground. We need more female peacekeepers on the ground because they have a better capacity for situational awareness; they can provide appropriate protection of civilians against sexual and gender-based violence; they can more easily win the hearts and minds of the local community; and they are prerequisites for sustaining the peace agenda.”

“Women are more tolerant of differences and less inclined to use violence against disliked groups; 80.7 per cent of women support the right to freedom of religion and belief; and 80.8 per cent of women, as compared to 76.7 per cent of men, do not support radicalism. Women's empowerment therefore becomes a determining factor in efforts to stamp out possible starting points for conflict. Women's empowerment must start at the community level. One example is the Peace Village initiative conducted by the Wahid Foundation in Indonesia in collaboration with UN-Women and Japan. Its main purpose is to empower women at the village level to build resilient communities by combining community empowerment and training in peacebuilding and women's economic empowerment.”

“Successful women politicians are going into their communities, recruiting other women aspiring to be politicians and giving them first-hand practical experience through mentorship programmes. As a result, in 2018 the number of women running for office has increased. Nearly 10 per cent ofthe candidates in parliamentary and regional elections were women. We are also empowering women economically, as women who are economically empowered will become agents of peace, and when they bring prosperity to their communities there will be a stronger inclination to pursue peace. Secondly, we need to share best practices and optimize what we know about women and peace and security. Research conducted by Indonesia's Wahid Institute found that women possess remarkable potential for promoting peace.”

“Member States are responsible for preventing conflict and should pursue that goal through various avenues relevant to their national circumstances. In that context, Indonesia considers women to be drivers of sustaining peace and development through their political and economic empowerment, with the support of their communities. In that connection, the Government has a solid commitment to advancing women's participation in politics and development. In President Jokowi's Administration, women ministers account for one third of the Cabinet and are all tasked with strategic issues. Additionally, 73 women have been elected as regional heads or deputy heads since the last election. Since the last general election, we have formulated a grand design to enhance women's representation in Parliament for the forthcoming election in 2019.”

“Let me first thank the Plurinational State of Bolivia for convening this open debate. I also thank the Secretary-General and all the briefers for their remarks. Indonesia aligns itself with the statements made on behalf of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and the MIKTA countries - Mexico, Indonesia, the Republic of Korea, Turkey and Australia. Women are half of the world and therefore can make up half of every solution. The implementation of resolution 1325 (2000) has put a spotlight on the role of women in peace and security. There are some pertinent points to consider in that regard. First, preventing conflict is far better than settling it. It is the most effective resolution, one that enables everyone - men, women and children - to thrive and coexist in peace.”

“We need to remind ourselves that our provocative statements or actions will contribute nothing but an escalation of the situation on the ground. We call on Member States to create the conditions necessary for promoting peace and rebuilding trust and confidence. We also hope that the Council will refrain from any double-standard practices that could erode its credibility and authority. We call on it to implement its binding resolutions, including resolution 2334 (2016), which is crucial to the advancement of peace.”

“The protection of civilians must be an absolute priority for all stakeholders, and Indonesia believes that a political settlement through dialogue and negotiation is the best solution. Finally, with regard to Yemen, Indonesia is concerned about the serious deterioration in the humanitarian situation, and we call on the international community to take swift and concerted action to prevent widespread famine. Steps must be taken to resume a dialogue between the parties to address urgent concerns and make progress towards a political settlement of the conflict. Let me end by calling on both parties in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict to refrain from provocative actions, incitement and inflammatory rhetoric, as mandated by resolution 2334 (2016). In our View, that call should also be addressed to other Member States.”

“On 28 September, seven Palestinians, including two children, were killed in one day during the demonstrations, and hundreds were injured. According to the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, those numbers represent the highest fatality toll in a single day since 14 May, when 42 Palestinians were killed. We condemn that senseless violence and support the call for the protection of the Palestinian people, including through the dispatch of an international protection force. On the question of Syria, we welcome the creation of a demilitarized buffer zone in the governorate of Idlib. It is proof that diplomacy has produced positive progress in the effort to avoid civilian casualties.”

“As a strong proponent of multilateralism, Indonesia reiterates that the Council was and is meant to be the main organ not simply for maintaining the principle of world peace, but for preventing the unilateral use of violence by any State against civilians or other States. In effect, it is meant to be a force for peace in the world by being a safeguard against injustice and impunity anywhere in the world. Indonesia wants to place on the record the continuing carnage by Israeli forces since the Great March of Return protests began in May. At least 198 Palestinians, including 31 children, three people with disabilities, three paramedics and two journalists, have been killed. In addition, more than 20,000 have been injured, some of them with life-changing and paralysing injuries.”

“Indonesia must repeat what it has been saying for a long time, which is that the issue of the occupation of Palestine has lasted too long. The responsibility for it belongs to the Council, and we object to any attempts to divert attention from it at this critical time. While we are certainly aware that the Charter of the United Nations does not provide the Council with an enforcement mechanism for ensuring that its decisions are honoured, we are hopeful that the Council realizes that the Palestinians also deserve to live in peace, and that this organ can do far more than it has done so far in that regard. We reaffirm the principles of the Charter, which set clear parameters for the Council in areas such as the equal rights of States, self-determination, respect for human rights, the non-use of force and territorial integrity.”

“It seems that we are becoming indifferent and emotionless, ready to treat the situation as commonplace. It seems that at every meeting now we are learning of new and more ambitious illegal settlements, the demolition of houses and property, restrictions and blockades. We hear of the excessive use of force, of arbitrary detentions and other illegalities, which also look like what we have seen in previous reports. The report before us (S/2018/614) on the implementation of resolution 2334 (2016) is yet another. But the truth is that those reports are about people, families and communities. They are about human lives and human beings like us, whose only desire is for a normal, peaceful life, but who are facing those violent acts and denials of their rights every day.”

“As it appears that today's open debate on Palestine may be the last in the Security Council for this year, I wish to take this opportunity to express the appreciation of the Government of Indonesia to the delegation of Bolivia for its sincere and consistent support for the Palestinian cause during its tenure. Regrettably, rather than advancing our understanding or making contributions to achieving peace and resolution, this quarterly debate on the Middle East has become a showcase for the occupying Power's illegal activities and violence towards the territory it occupies and the people there, including women and children. We seem to be mere spectators of a series of increasingly disturbing tragedies, without the capacity or perhaps even the conscience to stop them.”

“A crucial factor for the fulfilment of those rights is unity among Palestinians We have high hope for the continuation and progress of the domestic reconciliation process. We believe that the world will not rest until Palestinians enjoy their inalienable rights.”

“Such assistance can take any form, including capacity-building. In that regard, I am pleased to say that Indonesia has already announced a $2-million commitment to assist Palestinians in capacity-building programmes, under the auspices of the Conference on Cooperation among East Asian Countries for Palestinian Development, in accordance with the needs of the Palestinian people. Indonesia reiterates that the situation in Palestine is unsustainable and unjustifiable. We must bring to an end the excessive assault on the lives of Palestinians. Of equal importance, we must avoid conveying the dangerous impression on the ground that all hope is lost. We are fully optimistic that the rights of the Palestinians will be fulfilled.”

“In our view, common humanity demands that we reject the use of excessive, disproportionate and indiscriminate violence by the Israeli forces against Palestinian civilians, including the use of live ammunition against civilian protesters. Indonesia calls for an end to the closures and restrictions imposed by Israel on movement and access into and out of Gaza. We again draw attention to the deteriorating conditions in Gaza, including the lack of basic economic and social needs and poor medical conditions, that are behind the cycle of conflicts. They also prepare the ground for idle youth to be recruited by terrorists or terrorist organizations. We therefore appeal to Member States to strengthen the efforts to assist Palestinians, including through multilateral, regional or bilateral channels.”

“It is therefore a dangerous irony that not only have we failed to stop the illegal activities of the occupying forces, but we have also almost completely failed to protect unarmed civilians from the atrocities. It is distressing, and indeed shameful, to observe our insensitivity on that matter, as human lives seem to have no value because they are the lives of others, rather than our own. We must understand that the highest form ofjustice is safety and security. To that end, we reaffirm that the Palestinian people, as in the case of all peoples everywhere in the world, are entitled to the basic right of protection in accordance with international law. It is the obligation of the Security Council to protect civilians.”

“Indonesia is very pleased to acknowledge the enormous support for the Palestinian issue throughout the international community. However, as usual, the will of the majority prevails on paper, but reality shows the opposite. We are very saddened by the fact that hundreds of Palestinians were killed and thousands injured, including women and children, in the latest wave of violence unleashed on a defenceless civilian population, and once again this organ has failed those victims. With those events in view, we will again remind this organ - and we will do it again and again 4 that the heart of the conflict in Palestine is the occupation and illegal settlement.”

“Let me first congratulate the delegation of Sweden on acceding to the presidency for this month and convey my appreciation for the briefing given earlier by Mr. Nickolay Mladenov. I would also like to align our statement with those delivered on behalf of the Non-Aligned Movement and the Organization of the Islamic Conference. It is significant that this is the first meeting of this Security Council since its failure once again last month (see S/PV.8274) to fulfil its duty towards the Palestinian people, which is enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations. Following that sad event, and in response to the overwhelming outrage of the membership of the United Nations, the General Assembly adopted the analogous resolution ES-10/20.”

“Fourthly, we encourage all Member States to universally ratify and implement the relevant international treaties and to enact related national legislation. Lastly, Indonesia is committed to ending violence against civilians in armed conflict, particularly women and children. We would like to encourage the sharing of best practices among the United Nations peacekeeping forces to strengthen the role of peacekeeping missions in the protection of children. Indonesia would also welcome the inclusion of personnel specifically dedicated to child protection in United Nations peacekeeping operations.”

“More importantly, there is an urgent need to maximize efforts to prevent the recruitment, radicalization and widespread dissemination of terrorist ideology among children and young people. Thirdly, the full protection of and respect for the best interests of children should be paramount in counter-terrorism efforts and in peace and ceasefire agreements, including their treatment as primary victims and not as perpetrators when associated with non-State armed groups. During their reintegration, the aim should be to create the basis for a transformative and durable change in society, leading to long-term sustainable peace and stability. This implies the provision of a protective environment, access to quality education and provisions for specific physical and mental health needs.”

“We continue to support the promotion and protection of the rights of children agenda to achieve a sustainable future for all. Concerning the way forward, allow me to share some pertinent points. First, it is the central responsibility of Member States to protect children. No country should spare any effort in promoting the rights of children and ensuring their growth and development. On the other hand, building the capacity of Member States in the area of child protection is also a key component that requires international cooperation. Secondly, children will remain vulnerable to exploitation unless the root causes of conflict are addressed. Investing in development and meeting social and economic needs are important factors in bringing stability and progress to societies.”

“While every achievement is good news, the persistence and scope of the violence against children in armed conflict, particularly in relation to recruitment, killing and maiming, cannot be ignored. Every violation, including those committed by armed groups, such as acts of terror, mass kidnapping and all sexual abuse and exploitation, must be condemned in the strongest language possible. Indonesia believes that given the changing and complex nature of current conflicts, the international community must intensify its efforts. As a country that considers this issue as a core one, Indonesia has become a pathfinder country in the global effort to protect children from violence and exploitation. It has also become a party to the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on the involvement of children in armed conflict.”

I also wish to thank the Secretary-General for his report (S/2018/465), as well as the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children in Armed Conflict, the Executive Director for UNICEF and Ms. Londofio for their briefings Indonesia aligns itself with the statement made by the representative of Viet Nam on behalf of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, and I would like to add the following remarks in my national capacity. Promoting and protecting children's rights to ensure their well-being is a moral obligation that all countries must fulfil.”

“However, women and peace and security should not be reduced to a women's issue. It takes both men and women to achieve gender equality, foster respectful relationships, support safer communities and become true partners for peace. The hearty cooperation of both women and men is essential to successfully tackle the many challenges on the Council's agenda. The frameworks and tools are there. We must now walk the talk.”

“That is why it is important for us to have a system-wide United Nations approach or a platform to disseminate, share and exchange success stories in that regard. Fourthly, women need to become self-sufficient. Whether before, during or after conflict, strengthening basic capacities of women, such as reading, writing and economic skills, can go a long way. Training should focus on developing skills that would help women build a structured livelihood to obtain a steady income. Indonesia has also been sharing our best practices and experiences in empowering women in leadership through South-South and triangular cooperation. The many efforts the international community has made give Indonesia hope that there is sufficient momentum for women's participation in peace and security.”

“Secondly, the value of the women and peace and security agenda in preventive measures will emerge through the empowerment of women to assume the confidence and capacity to access the policy-making process, which is a way for them to address their grievances and to make their contributions towards the betterment of their community and society. Action to elevate women's empowerment should be integrated into development planning, peacekeeping missions and humanitarian assistance, Thirdly, prevention should be prioritized through better dissemination. Sharing knowledge and experiences of women ex-combatants, women peacekeepers, negotiators and the like to deter conflict should be supported.”

“It must continue to condemn sexual violence in conflict, which requires greater efforts not only to put an end to it, but also to consider means to prevent such atrocities from taking place in the first place. I would like to take this opportunity to share Indonesia's views regarding the prevention of sexual violence before, during and after conflict. First, there is no price that can be placed on human life. The human toll of conflict is devastating. For that reason, civil order must be preserved if conflict is imminent. Peaceful solutions must be actively pursued. More resources should be poured into prevention in order to rebalance the approach to peace and security, which has focused more on response actions.”

“Indonesia welcomes the response ofMember States, the United Nations and civil society. The international community's efforts have raised women's profiles as assets to peace. Since the Security Council's adoption of resolution 1325 (2000), the international community has built a robust framework in which women can exercise their role in peace and security. It is worth noting that the same resolution clearly mentions that effective steps to prevent and respond to all forms of sexual violence can significantly contribute to the maintenance of international peace and security. Along with constructive measures to increase women's roles in peace, the international community can still do much more.”

“Indonesia would like to thank you, Mr. President, for sustaining this important dialogue on women and peace and security. Indonesia greatly appreciates all the briefers for their remarks. One of the persistent challenges that today's debate is reminding us of is sexual violence in conflict. Indonesia is deeply concerned about the use of sexual violence as a war tactic. As the Secretary- General's report (S/2018/250) emphasizes, anyone becomes susceptible to sexual violence during conflict, regardless of their sex. Women and girls in particular have been exploited by the warring parties, yet women have articulated their desire to move past victimization and take the lead to improve their own situation and in the broader scope, despite being victims of horrible acts, having faced injustice or marginalized because of gender.”

“At the same time, we continue to underscore the importance of meeting the international commitments under the means of implementation of the 2030 Agenda Sustainable Development Goals. To conclude, I would like to reconfirm our commitment to working with all Member States as a true partner for world peace, a partner in advancing strong institutions, linking peace and development as well as strengthening cooperation as vital elements that we believe will deter the forces that devalue human life, including the lives of women.”

“To that end, it is important that we have a strong global institution, namely, the United Nations, alongwithpeacebuildingandpeacekeepingmechanisms, which should continuously be strengthened. Indonesia stands ready to mediate conflicts and to contribute to peacekeeping and peacebuilding. Currently we have nearly 3,000 troops on the ground in nine peacekeeping missions. By 2019, we aim to have 4,000 troops, with an increased number of female peacekeepers. As part of our commitment to advancing the 2030 Agenda, Indonesia has also been sharing our best practices and experiences in empowering women in leadership through South-South and triangular cooperation. More than 2,000 participants from least developed and developing countries have benefited from the programme.”

“Only by uniting our energy - women and men, boys and girls - can we strengthen our efforts for common causes. At the same time, it is also significant to acknowledge and foster the crucial role of women and families in the prevention of conflicts that may lead to radicalism and extremism. Secondly, we must develop an ecosystem that stimulates prosperity. Member States adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in 2015, which is a comprehensive and integrated blueprint to synergize development with peace, enabling women to participate in peacebuilding through the economy. Thirdly, we must foster cooperation to develop and strengthen the ecosystem for peace, stability and prosperity.”

“Nevertheless, women remain largely objects of exploitation in conflict, not to mention the fact that the complex challenges that women face in conflict and preventing conflict are compounded by social and economic inequalities, as well as environmental degradation. Those challenges certainly undermine the spirit of resolution 1325 (2000). It also means that we are still a long way from realizing a just, peaceful and prosperous world. I would like to take this opportunity to share some of Indonesia's thoughts and experiences. First, with regard to fostering an environment for peace and stability, solutions should focus on building institutions that encourage the habit of dialogue, consensus, inclusivity, respect, integrity, the peaceful settlement of disputes and non-use of force.”

“First of all, I would like to thank you, Madam President, for your leadership to sustain commitment on this issue. Indonesia aligns itself with the statement made by the representative of Turkey on behalf of the group made up of Mexico, Indonesia, the Republic of Korea, Turkey and Australia. We also express our deep appreciation to all the briefers for their comprehensive insights on this agenda item. Resolution 1325 (2000) underlines the significance of women's role in our efforts to achieve peace. We have heard the countless stories of many women and girls who showed courage and determination in working against all odds to ensure that peace prevails. It would be unfortunate if their bravery and vision went unrealized. The international community has given its continuous support to the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000).”

“The protection of women in armed conflict should be further strengthened; that much is clear. Ultimately, our aim should be the prevention of armed conflict itself. Here, the Security Council, in cooperation with regional organizations, should play its role in promoting the prevention of conflict and the maintenance of international peace and security.”

“Mandatory training on addressing sexual violence for all peacekeeping personnel should be continued and supported. The Indonesia National Defence Forces Peacekeeping Centre has included training on this particular issue and will ensure the continuation as well as the strengthening of this exercise. Allow me to end by stressing that we should not overlook civilian expertise. The pool of civilian capacities can be broadened and deepened for peacebuilding in the immediate aftermath of conflict. One way is to involve women survivors. They should be encouraged to participate in peacekeeping operations training so that troops on the ground are aware and more in tune with the signs of sexual violence and exploitation. It should also include countries with relevant experience in post-conflict peacebuilding or democratic transition.”

“The United Nations normative framework on deterring atrocities against humankind in situations of conflict should continue to be strengthened as necessary. Four elements should be included in efforts to end the culture of impunity for sexual violence in wars: prevention, early detection, protection and punishment for perpetrators, and justice for the victims. Indonesia has taken an active role in United Nations peacebuilding efforts and is committed to strengthening its role in the United Nations peacekeeping operations. At the moment, Indonesia has female personnel in the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon and the African Union-United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur, and we are committed to increase the number of peacekeeping troops, including the number of Indonesian female peacekeepers and women military observers.”

“However, a society thrives with individuals who are healthy in mind and body, which is one of the cornerstones of sustainable peace. For that reason, Indonesia is deeply concerned about the use of conflict-related sexual violence as a war tactic. Women and children are especially vulnerable. The international community must continue to condemn such atrocious acts requiring greater efforts to get to the root of the problem. Indonesia applauds the efforts of the United Nations, other multilateral organizations and civil society to halt this human tragedy. The international community must remain resolute and firmly committed to upholding the principle of protecting human dignity and limiting the effects of conflict on non-combatants.”

“I would like to thank you, Sir, for chairing today's debate on a topic that is difficult but nevertheless important to raise in the Council. I would also like to congratulate you assuming the Council presidency for the month of May and assure you of our support for a successful presidency. I thank the Deputy Secretary-General, the Acting Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict, and the representative of Women's Refugee Route for their statements. Sexual violence on its own is clearly a great moral issue and is surely devastating to the victims. When used as a tactic in conflict, the demoralizing effect it has on the population is sure to exacerbate and deepen tensions. There are long-term effects that we still need to understand.”

“The parties must start the negotiation process without delay and commit to addressing the root causes of the problem. In that regard, it our hope that the newly elected members of the Council will also lend their support to, and support the implementation of, that historic resolution in this the fiftieth year of Israel's occupation of Palestine.”
