  1. “Tunisia supports the Palestinian demand for protection for its civilians in the Palestinian territories, in accordance with the principles of the Charter of the United Nations, international law and international humanitarian law, including the Geneva Conventions and other international conventions. In addition, my delegation welcomes the intention of the Special Rapporteur to visit to the region for the purposes ofpreparing a report to be submitted to the General Assembly in October. In conclusion, I would like to stress that the general and comprehensive peace process in the Middle East region needs to be a comprehensive one. Peace cannot be achieved without Israel's complete withdrawal from all Arab and Palestinian territories, including the Syrian Arab Golan and the territories that are still under occupation in southern Lebanon.”

  2. “Only this will guarantee the Palestinian people's ability to build a State on its own land, on contiguous territories, on territories that have been occupied since 1967, with East Jerusalem as its capital, in accordance with the Arab Peace Initiative and the Madrid terms of reference. My delegation supports any international effort that can contribute to achieving this objective. We welcome France's call at the Paris meeting on 3 June for the convening of an international conference on this issue. The final communique ofthe Paris meeting stressed the need to end occupation as well as the importance of the Arab Peace Initiative in the realization of a peace consistent with the vision of the two States.”

  3. “It is time for the Council to deliver justice to the Palestinian people and enable them to recover and fulfil their legitimate rights. The current situation is clearly threatening to create further tensions in a region that has already had enough. Continued feelings of resentment and helplessness before historical injustices are what is causing extremism and Violence. There is no hope if we do not address the situation in a just manner. First and foremost, we must seriously and responsibly work to put an end to settler colonialism as a precondition for achieving a just and comprehensive solution.”

  4. “Regrettably, all these practices continue unabated while the international community, in particular the Security Council, remains silent. However, my delegation believes that it is no longer acceptable to remain silent before thesefaits accomplis. The time has come for the international community, in particular the Security Council, to shoulder its responsibility and put an end to the unprecedented occupation and the settler activity. We all agree that the settlements are illegal and illegitimate. We further agree that they are the crux of the matter and the true reason for the tensions in the territories and in the region. The time has come for a real change in the way the Security Council addresses the question of Palestine.”

  5. “Despite calls in the Quartet's report for an end to settler activities, the occupation authorities declared, only days after the report was published, that they intended to build 560 residential units in addition to 240 previously announced units in East Jerusalem, which was criticized by the Secretary-General in his briefing this morning. These practices violate all international laws and conventions and confirm beyond any doubt that Israel is continuing its fait accompli policy to gain more time, annex more Palestinian territory and force the population out. The policy impedes any attempt to open new horizons for peace consistent with the two- State vision. Such a vision has eroded and with it so have the prospects for peace.”

  6. “The first report of the Quartet, published early this month, affirms that the ongoing occupation policies, the expansion of settlements in the West Bank and Gaza, and the confiscation of Palestinian property by Israelis imperil the current search for a settlement. Israel continues to unilaterally claim territory. There are some 370,000 settlers living in Area C in the West Bank. The report confirms that such practices undermine the potential for a two-State solution desired by the international community, raising questions about Israel's intentions and commitment to a two- State solution, especially in the light of the position of certain Israeli Ministers who reject the establishment of a Palestinian State.”

  7. “Mr. Missaoui (Tunisia) (spoke in Arabic): Let me begin by congratulating you, Sir, on your wise presidency of the Council for this month, and thanking you for convening this open debate on the situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian question. I would like to align my delegation with the statements made on behalf the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and the non-aligned countries. I would be remiss ifI failed to condemn the recent terrorist attacks in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Turkey and Bangladesh. I would like to offer our condolences to those brotherly and friendly countries.”
