  1. “Let us also use the occasion to strengthen faith in the multilateral system, build a better future for all our peoples, without exception, and reaffirm the values of impartiality, freedom and self-determination enshrined in the San Francisco Charter.”

  2. “Today we have a historic responsibility to renew our support for the values of truth and justice and to strengthen the faith of the Palestinian and Arab peoples in international legitimacy and in the Council to maintain international peace and security, restore stability in the region, lift it out of the crucible of violence and tension in which it has languished for decades and bring to an end a long-standing human injustice that has had repercussions for generations of Palestinians. Let us make the seventy-fifth anniversary of the establishment of our Organization a historic occasion on which we work together to build a United Nations that is more unified, demonstrates more solidarity and is more responsive to challenges.”

  3. “My country calls on regional and international actors to continue to provide assistance and enhance the humanitarian response in order to ensure the continuity of the vital services provided by the Agency. I reiterate the commitment of Tunisia to supporting all efforts to resume progress towards a peaceful settlement in the Middle East on the basis of United Nations resolutions and the internationally agreed-upon terms of reference.”

  4. “As the economic and social situation in the occupied Palestinian territories continues to deteriorate, and given that the enormous challenges posed by the coronavirus disease pandemic have exacerbated the suffering of the Palestinian people, we hope that international efforts will be combined to help the Palestinians to counter the pandemic’s effects, in accordance with resolution 2532 (2020), which was unanimously adopted at the start of July 2020 at the initiative of Tunisia and France. Tunisia reiterates its support for the vital role of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East in alleviating the suffering of refugees in its various areas of operation until a just solution to the issue is found.”

  5. “Our commitment to peace is a strategic choice that reflects our belief in the values of truth and justice and our support for international legitimacy. That choice is matched only by our determination to support the struggle of the Palestinian people for the restoration of its legitimate rights, which do not lapse with time; the establishment of its independent and sovereign State with the borders of 4 June 1967, with East Jerusalem as its capital; and the settlement of all final-status issues, particularly that of Palestinian refugees.”

  6. “In order to ensure the success and sustainability of the process, the international community must persuade the Israeli authorities to comply with United Nations resolutions, end the occupation, withdraw fully from all occupied Arab territories, including the occupied Syrian Golan, bring all settlement activity to a complete and immediate halt in accordance with resolution 2334 (2016), definitively abandon its annexation plans, lift the unjust blockade of the Gaza Strip and stop all other forms of collective punishment and economic strangulation of Palestine. The process for the achievement of a peaceful settlement cannot be relaunched while such practices and violations, which are totally contrary to international legitimacy and the requirements of international law, continue.”

  7. “We therefore call today for a comprehensive and unified international initiative, coordinated among the Council, the Secretary-General and the Middle East Quartet in accordance with frameworks to be agreed upon, in order to ensure the active and binding engagement of the interested parties in a practical process to relaunch serious, credible negotiations based on an established timetable, with the participation of the Palestinians, in order to achieve a just, comprehensive and lasting peace in the Middle East on the basis of international law, authoritative international resolutions, the agreed-upon terms of reference for a settlement, the Arab Peace Initiative and the vision put forward by the President of the State of Palestine, Mahmoud Abbas.”

  8. “The President of the Republic of Tunisia, Kaïs Saïed, attaches particular importance to the Palestinian cause, which he considers his personal cause, and which is a top priority in our country’s foreign policy, particularly during our current membership of the Council. With Mr. Saïed’s support, Tunisia has always sought to promote peaceful, just and lasting settlements to various unresolved international issues, particularly the question of Palestine, in accordance with international legal requirements.”

  9. “Can we continue to accept the fact that the occupying Power has not been properly held to account for seven decades of violations and disregard for Council resolutions? It is unacceptable for this situation, which has serious implications for the peoples of the region and for international peace and security, to continue. As much as we value the efforts made to reach a just, comprehensive and lasting settlement of the long-standing Palestinian issue, which is at the core of the Arab-Israeli conflict, we hope that the Council and the international community will make a quantum leap in their approach to the just Palestinian cause, in order to break the deadlock that has prevailed for years, marshal the international desire for peace and put an end disregard for United Nations resolutions.”

  10. “Despite many decades of international efforts, dozens of resolutions of the Council and the General Assembly and the conclusion of agreements, successive Governments of Israel have ignored and even violated those resolutions and have taken unilateral measures as part of a policy of faits accompli in order to change the legal and historical status of the occupied Palestinian and Arab territories. The nations of the world unanimously agree that the situation is illegal and threatens the prospects of a just and peaceful solution. We must therefore ask ourselves whether we can continue to live with the loss of faith, on the part of the Palestinian and other Arab peoples, in international law, the United Nations and the international community in general.”

  11. “Today we call for an end to the suffering of the Palestinian people, for the continuation of work to stop the aggressive policies of the occupying Power and for an end to that Power’s systematic practices of killing, displacing and detaining Palestinians in flagrant violation of all human rights, demolishing homes, expanding settlements, profaning holy sites and violating international human rights law and international humanitarian law, practices that result in tragedy and suffering.”

  12. “This meeting is being held as the international community celebrates the seventy-fifth anniversary of the establishment of the United Nations and commemorates the first meeting of the Security Council in January 1946. The Palestinian people is not participating with us in these celebrations. For seven long decades, it has groaned under a brutal occupation, without losing faith in international law or the role of the United Nations and its various bodies, particularly the Council, in upholding its legitimate rights in order to support peace and security in the Middle East and worldwide.”

  13. “I appreciate the important information and valuable guidance that he provided in his briefing, which will, I hope, be the starting point for the desired active contribution to United Nations, international and regional efforts to advance peace in the Middle East. On behalf of the other members of the Council, I extend my deepest thanks and appreciation to the former Special Coordinator, Nickolay Mladenov, for his valuable efforts throughout his tenure. I would also like to thank the Secretary-General of the League of Arab States, Ahmed Aboul Gheit, for his briefing, which reflected the League’s important role in supporting United Nations and international efforts to address issues in the region, in particular the central issue, namely, the question of Palestine.”

  14. “At the outset, I would like to convey to you, Mr. President, the greetings of the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Migration and Tunisians Abroad, Othman Jerandi, who is unable to preside over this meeting, and to express my sincere gratitude and appreciation for your positive interaction with the initiative of the Tunisian presidency of the Security Council to hold this ministerial meeting. That interaction confirms the importance accorded by the Security Council to Middle East issues, particularly the just Palestinian cause. I welcome the new United Nations Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, Tor Wennesland, and wish him success in his duties.”
