1. “This is a critical moment in which all countries ofthe region must not squander peaceful advances by falling back into hostilities sparked by the simmering conflicts of regional Powers. Rather it is essential to promote even more dialogue for a culture of tolerance, of acceptance of others and of living together peacefully; in this way, they can contribute significantly to reducing many economic, social, political and environmental problems that weigh so heavily on a large part of humankind. The President (spoke in Spanish): I now give the floor to the observer of the League of Arab States.”

2. “How can we make eloquent appeals for peace in the Middle East and even commit to humanitarian action while at the same time continuing to permit the sale of arms in the region? Iraq, after the unspeakable crimes that the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant inflicted upon its population, especially members of religious and ethnic minorities, offers some hope as it moves forward along the way of reconciliation and reconstruction through the peaceful and shared pursuit of the common good on the part of all elements of society. In addition, it is essential that the international community continue to encourage and seek out every possible opportunity for negotiations and peaceful solutions to current crises in the Gulf region.”

3. “Yesterday, in his letter to President Bashar Al-Assad, Pope Francis expressed his profound preoccupation over the humanitarian situation in Syria and, in particular, the dramatic conditions faced by the civilian population in Idlib. He renewed his call for their protection and for respect for international humanitarian law. The worsening humanitarian situation in Yemen is also a cause for grave concern, in particular when those most in need are deprived of food and medical attention. The Council's unanimous adoption on 15 July of resolution 2481 (2019) to renew the mandate of the United Nations Mission to Support the Hodeidah Agreement was a needed step to strengthen the implementation of the ceasefire and to facilitate access to provisions and essential supplies. There is a need for coherence, however.”

4. “Yet, while humanitarian and economic support remain vital for creating the environment for negotiations, they cannot replace negotiations. Political will and constructive dialogue are required to establish the conditions for lasting peace and a comprehensive and sustainable solution. An important contribution that Member States can make at this time is to encourage parties to return to the negotiating table and offer them the space and resources to commit to dialogue as protagonists of their own peaceful future, side by side. In our consideration of the Middle East, we cannot overlook the still unstable areas in Syria, where the risk ofa worse humanitarian crisis remains high. We cannot be deaf to the cries of those lacking food, medical care and schooling, or to those of orphans, widows and the wounded.”

5. “Such a situation cannot permit this open debate to remain merely a rehearsal of well-known facts and commentary on troubling setbacks and impediments to reaching the much-sought two-State solution within internationally recognized borders. It must lead to action. Through generous donations, mainly by means of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, the international community continues to ensure that education, health care and other basic services can be provided for Palestine refugees, lest the situation on the ground become untenable. There is already high unemployment and limited prospects for the younger generations, alongside an ever-increasing demand for food and water.”

6. “I now give the floor to the observer of the Observer State of the Holy See to the United Nations. Father Charters (Holy See): The Holy See wishes to thank the presidency of Peru for convening today's open debate to discuss the Middle East, including the Palestinian question. Last month, in his briefing to the Security Council, Mr. Mladenov noted a dangerous escalation of violence in Gaza, as well as continued violence in the West Bank (see S/PV.8557). The lack ofunity on both sides, as well as internal divisions, are abetting an environment of distrust. Fuelled by dangerous rhetoric and extremist ideology, that lack of trust can sadly and rapidly devolve into violent acts that put the lives of innocent Palestinians and Israelis alike at risk and negatively impact the tense wider region.”

7. “I would like to inform everyone that today's open debate will continue during the lunch hour as there are many names inscribed on the list of speakers. I now give the floor to the representative ofLebanon.”

8. “We urge all actors involved to exercise restraint in those dangerous circumstances, avoid any unilateral act that could trigger a conflict in that troubled part of the world and return to diplomatic channels as the only possible way out of the current impasse. We encourage the Secretary- General's good offices to reduce current tensions and build the confidence needed, in line with the powers granted to him by the Charter of the United Nations. I shall now resume my functions as President of the Security Council. The representative of Equatorial Guinea has requested the floor to make a further statement.”

9. “To that end, we underscore the special responsibility that lies with the Council and countries with real influence over the parties, which can and must do more to ensure that the parties resume bilateral negotiations, strictly respect their obligations under international humanitarian law and human rights and support the efforts of the Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process to promote the easing of tensions. I would also like to briefly address developments in the Strait of Hormuz, an area that is crucial to the global economy and to global security. Peru notes with deep concern the military actions that occurred in recent weeks, which pose a major threat to the stability of the region and to international peace.”

10. “We believe that the urgent relief of human suffering must be complemented by a renewed commitment by the parties to the peace process and the resumption of negotiations leading to a two-State solution based on the pre-1967 borders. That will require Palestinian and Israeli political, religious and social leaders and authorities to conduct themselves responsibly and with prudence and restraint and to promote the re-establishment of high-level dialogue that will allow their respective peoples and the entire Middle East to move towards lasting peace.”

11. “We also underscore the urgent need to pursue efforts to address the serious humanitarian crisis in Gaza, which has been exacerbated by funding cuts to assistance programmes and the unilateral decision of the Government of Israel to withhold a significant amount of Palestinian tax revenue. In such dramatic circumstances, we encourage the international community to increase its financial contributions and the United Nations to continue to align humanitarian assistance with development plans that offer hope and opportunities to the youngest in order to divert them from radicalization and extremism. We hope that the global investment fund outlined in Bahrain and a strengthened United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East will also contribute to that end.”

12. “We must deplore the fact that unilateral decisions and actions have led to an even greater escalation of tensions and violence, including the recurrent and growing practices of settlement-building, demolitions and evictions in occupied Palestinian territories. Those actions contravene the provisions of resolution 2334 (2016) and make the prospects for the two-State solution increasingly uncertain. We are duly alarmed by the political and social impact of the ongoing demolition of Palestinian homes in Sur Baher. We echo the Organization's calls for the Israeli authorities to stop those acts and instead implement planning policies that meet the housing and development needs of the Palestinian population in the occupied territories.”

13. “I will now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Peru. I would also like to extend our condolences to the people and the Government of Japan following the death of Mr. Amano, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency. Our country is deeply concerned about the developments surrounding the question of Palestine. We deplore the persistent hostile environment, the indiscriminate violence of Hamas, the disproportionate Israeli response and the confrontational rhetoric on both sides. It all creates an unsustainable and destabilizing situation for the Middle East and the international community.”
