  1. “We thank the Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process and all other agencies, including the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, for their commitment to the peace process, as well as for their relentless efforts aimed at finding a sustainable solution to the political, security and humanitarian situation in the region.”

  2. “We therefore cannot overemphasize our continued support of a negotiated solution that embraces the coexistence of Israel and Palestine, living peacefully side by side as two sovereign States. In conclusion, I would like to reaffirm Botswana's solidarity with the Palestinian people and my country's unwavering support for their just cause. We reiterate our call for the strengthening of the coordination of international efforts to promote a just, lasting, comprehensive and peaceful solution to the situation in the Middle East, in particular the question of Palestine. We also lend our full support to the continued diplomatic efforts of the Security Council and the good offices of the Secretary-General.”

  3. “The plan sought to address problems that have consistently undermined efforts to bring about peace in Palestine. We encourage the parties to respect all relevant United Nations resolutions, including resolution 2334 (2016), which is clear in its call for parties to refrain from inflammatory rhetoric or acts of provocation or incitement. It urges them to act in accordance with international law, including humanitarian law, in the interests of promoting peace and security. I would like to take this opportunity to reiterate my delegation's long-standing position on the question of Palestine. We continue to believe that there is no alternative to the two-State solution.”

  4. “While we remain optimistic, we are at the same time deeply concerned about the growing tension between the Government of Israel and the Palestinian Authority. To this end, we deplore unilateral actions, as they lack legitimacy and also have the potential to undermine prospects for peace. Against the backdrop of challenges relating to the achievement of sustainable peace in the disputed territories, we condemn any activities that undermine international efforts to achieve a lasting solution, including increasing illegal settlements; violence; and the denial of the rights of peaceful protesters. We also deplore the lack of progress on negotiations on final-status issues. In this regard, Botswana supports the plan proposed by President Mahmoud Abbas, which he presented to the Council in February this year (see S/PV.8183).”

  5. “It is a fact that the Council has for 70 years now had on its agenda the situation in the Middle East, with particular reference to the question of Palestine. While we regret this reality, Botswana stands firm and will not tire of expressing its position on this matter as long as a durable solution has not been achieved. We continue to be encouraged by the unrelenting pressure being brought to bear by the international community for the resumption of the intra-Palestine peace talks. We accordingly call for the intensification of efforts to achieving a comprehensive, just and lasting peace in the Middle East that is jointly facilitated by the United Nations, the Middle East Quartet, the Arab Peace Initiative and the Madrid terms of reference, as well as the relevant United Nations resolutions.”

  6. “Allow me at the outset, Sir, to reiterate my delegation's sincere congratulations to you and your country, Peru, on your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for the month of April. I wish also to express my delegation's appreciation to you for having convened this quarterly open debate on the situation in the Middle East, including the question of Palestine, a matter to which my delegation attaches great importance. I further wish to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Nickolay Mladenov, Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process and Personal Representative of the Secretary-General, for his invaluable input on the subject. My delegation aligns itself with the statement delivered on behalf of the Movement of Non-Aligned Countries.”
