  1. “Therefore, we cannot allow any State to continue to blatantly disregard those viable solutions for sustainable peace and to perpetuate the situation of conflict in the Middle East.”

  2. “We call upon Israel to abide by the relevant Security Council resolutions and immediately cease those actions, which are further compromising peace and security in the Middle East and violating international law. The present instability in the Middle East is to a large degree rooted in long-standing political, social, ethnic and religious disputes that have no easy solution. Changing geopolitical conditions have brought various people into conflict, and they will ultimately have to learn, or re-learn, how to tolerate differences and live peacefully alongside one another, in accordance with the principles of international law, which is the cornerstone of world peace.”

  3. “The solution is not to have circular debates in the Council about how the current measures are not working, but rather to find a new approach that would produce practical results. The Maldives, together with the majority of the international community, reaffirms its commitment to establishing an independent Palestinian State, based on the pre-1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, and taking its rightful place as a full Member of the United Nations. In addition to the grave violations against Palestinians, the Maldives also condemns the Israeli violations of the territorial and sovereign rights of Lebanon and the occupied Syrian Golan.”

  4. “Furthermore, Israel continues to implement settlement expansion policies in violation of international law. We are witnessing a complete and total de-legitimization of the grievances and aspirations of the Palestinian people, as their rights are being progressively denied through the expansion of such illegal settlements. The denial of the right to development of Palestine is a clear contradiction of the aspirations set out in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (General Assembly resolution 70/ 1), which the entire world agreed to last year. The failure to remedy that situation creates a dangerous precedent for the future. Therefore, the Maldives calls upon the Security Council to devise a practical, immediate and sustainable solution to that conflict and to take immediate action.”

  5. “We also note with grave concern the continued repression of the rights of Palestinians in the occupied Palestinian territory, and the escalation of Violence against Palestinians, including assaults, vandalism and the destruction of property. Despite the Israeli Government expressing support for an amicable two- State solution, it continues to violate its commitments under the Oslo Accords, and continue to designate the West Bank as an integral part of the State of Israel in its laws, official statements and the media. Numerous Israeli politicians have even expressed support for the complete formal annexation of the West Bank. Therefore, it is evident that in practice Israel does not recognize the right of a sovereign Palestinian State to exist.”

  6. “Let me begin by thanking Japan's presidency of the Security Council for convening this quarterly open debate on the situation in the Middle East. The Middle East remains one of the world's most volatile regions and continues to pose a daunting challenge for international peace and security. While continued efforts are under way in the fight against terrorism, violent extremism continues to spread throughout the region, as demonstrated by the recent attacks in Istanbul, Baghdad, Medina and beyond, which are particularly heinous for having been carried out during the Holy month of Ramadan. The Maldives strongly condemns those attacks, and extends its condolences and sympathies to the victims and the people who were affected by those acts of terrorism.”
