1. “The Arab group, which recognizes the importance of the success of any settlement in the region, has strongly expressed its collective position, namely, that it rejects and refuses the Israeli decision to confiscate the lands of East Jerusalem. It is clearly stated in the resolutions adopted at the last ministerial meeting of the Council of the League of Arab States, which calls for a collective position at the international level to oppose Israeli violations and to take immediate measures to halt such decisions in accordance with the principles of international law and the Fourth Geneva Convention. On this basis, before this Council, my country calls upon the international community to meet its obligations and calls upon this august Council to consider the following measures.”

2. “The time has come for Israel to halt its continuous expansionist policies aimed at expropriating more Arab territories, and to halt the building of settlements, particularly in the city of Holy Al-Quds, so that a climate of peace may prevail in the Middle East and so that the feeling of disappointment and failure experienced by the Palestinian people and the peoples of the region may be ended. The practices of the Government of Israel, its flagrant confiscation of Arab lands and the increase in settlements constitute major obstacles to any tangible progress in international efforts to reach a just, lasting and comprehensive peace settlement in the Middle East.”

3. “The United Arab Emirates, as current President of the Council of the League of Arab States and because it attaches great importance to the continuation of the peace process and the maintenance of Arab, Islamic and Palestinian rights in holy Al-Quds, expresses to the Council its strong condemnation of these Israeli decisions. This condemnation is reflected in the statements made by His Excellency El-Sheikh Al-Nahyan, Minister for Foreign Affairs, in which he said that the United Arab Emirates condemns any confiscations by Israel of Palestinian territories in East Jerusalem. He also warned that such practices not only threaten the peace process as a whole, but also strip Israel of its credibility with regard to its commitment to the Declaration of Principles which was signed with the PLO in 1993.”

4. “The expropriation by the Israeli Government of this eastern land to establish new settlements is aimed first at uprooting the Arab Palestinian presence, usurping Arab, Islamic and Palestinian rights in holy Al-Quds and imposing a fait accompli before negotiations begin on the issue of the city of Al-Quds in accordance with the Palestinian-Israeli peace agreements. My delegation considers these Israeli measures to be a flagrant violation of all such agreements. They not only have an impact on the Palestinian people and the countries and peoples of the Arab and Islamic world but are also a flagrant challenge to the international community since they are in contradiction with the principles of international law and the Fourth Geneva Convention.”

5. “The international community considered the Madrid peace conference held in 1991 and the Israeli-Palestinian agreements that followed it to be positive steps towards forcing Israel to halt the confiscation of additional Palestinian land and establish a new climate that would make possible the restoration of the legitimate rights of the Palestinians on the basis of Security Council resolutions 242 (1967) and 338 (1973) and the principle of land for peace. Nevertheless, we find today that the Israeli Government has taken a new decision to confiscate nearly 53 hectares of Palestinian land within the eastern part of the city of Al-Quds, thus flouting all its commitments to the principles and the basis of the peace process, and at the same time using empty and unacceptable pretexts in an attempt to justify these violations.”

6. “I also commend your predecessor, the Permanent Representative of the Czech Republic, for the wisdom he showed in conducting the business of the Council's meetings last month. The Security Council is meeting today to discuss the illegitimate, expansionist measures adopted by the Israeli Government in the territories of occupied Palestine, measures aimed at bringing about radical demographic change and imposing this on the international community and forcing it to deal with such practices as a fait accompli, based on force alone. All this is done without any legal basis and to gain further territory by expropriating Arab land and establishing settlements at the expense of the legitimate rights of the Arab- Palestinian people in their homeland.”
