  1. “The Non-Aligned Movement will continue to support and contribute in every way possible to efforts to achieve a just, comprehensive and lasting peace in the Middle East, based on all relevant United Nations resolutions, including resolutions 242 (1967), 338 (1973), 425 (1978), 1397 (2002) and 1515 (2003), the terms of reference of the Madrid Conference, the principle of land for peace, the Arab Peace Initiative adopted by the summit meeting of the League of Arab States held in March 2002 at Beirut, and the Road Map.”

  2. “We reaffirm also that all those measures and actions, including the illegal construction and expansion of Israeli settlements in the Syrian Golan since 1967, are a clear violation of international law, international agreements, the Charter of the United Nations and the relevant decisions of the Organization, including resolution 497 (1981) and the Fourth Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War of 12 August 1949, as well as a challenge to the international community. The Movement demands that Israel abide by resolution 497 (1981) and Withdraw completely from the occupied Syrian Golan to the borders of 4 June 1967.”

  3. “The Non-Aligned Movement urges the Security Council to decide on the entry into force, with no further delay, of a comprehensive and lasting ceasefire in Lebanon. The Non-Aligned Movement welcomes the generous contributions and pledges made during the Rafik Hariri Paris 111 conference, held in Paris on 25 January 2007. The Non-Aligned Movement reaffirms that all measures and actions already taken, or that will taken in future, by Israel, the occupying Power, such as its illegal decision of 14 December 1981, which purports to modify the legal, physical and demographic conditions and institutional structure of the occupied Syrian Golan, as well as the measures taken by Israel to implement its jurisdiction and administration there, are null and void and have no legal effect.”

  4. “In that regard, the Movement takes note of the important proposal made by the Lebanese Government in its seven-point plan regarding the Sheba'a farms and calls on all parties to cooperate to protect Lebanon's sovereign rights in that area, and notes the important endeavours of the Secretary-General in that regard. The Movement is acutely aware of the enormous challenges facing Lebanon as a result of the 1.2 million cluster bomblets launched by Israel during its aggression against Lebanon last summer. While condemning the use of such weaponry by Israel and deploring the death toll resulting from them, the Movement strongly urges Israel to provide the exact locations of use of those deadly weapons, as well as 07-23762 maps of the mines planted by Israel during its occupation of southern Lebanon.”

  5. “The Movement remains deeply concerned at the ongoing air and land violations by Israel of the Blue Line, in breach of resolution 1701 (2006), and strongly calls on Israel to end its occupation of the northern part of Al-Ghajar, a town on the northern side of the Blue Line, and to refrain, starting immediately, from any violation of Lebanese sovereignty and of resolution 1701 (2006), as well as from any act of provocation vis-a-vis the Lebanese armed forces or the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon. The Non-Aligned Movement calls for a prompt settlement of the Sheba'a farms issue, with full respect for Lebanese sovereignty and territorial integrity, as stipulated in resolution 1701 (2006).”

  6. “Actions such as the brutal military aggression against Lebanon and Israel's presence in the occupied Syrian Golan are likewise unacceptable. The Government of Lebanon has continuously endeavoured to stabilize the situation in its territory following Israel's relentless aggression and serious violations of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Lebanon. The Non-Aligned Movement welcomes the steps taken by the Lebanese Government to implement resolution 1701 (2006), particularly through the deployment of the armed forces in the region south of the Litani River and along the Blue Line. The Non-Aligned Movement also welcomes the deployment of Lebanese armed forces along the northern and eastern borders of Lebanon with a view to ensuring the security and stability of the borders.”

  7. “In the context of the grave situation that the Middle East faces at present, the Non-Aligned Movement reaffirms the permanent responsibility of the United Nations, including the Security Council, with regard to the situation in the region. It is no secret that Israel's unpunished acts are to a large extent the result of the protection provided it by the United States Government in the Security Council and in other international forums. The United States has shackled the Security Council through the use of 31 vetoes relating to draft resolutions on the question of Palestine and through countless threats to resort to this undemocratic and obsolete privilege. 07-23762 The impasse facing the peace process does not benefit anyone, not even the Israeli people, who also suffer the consequences of their Government's policies.”

  8. “The Non-Aligned Movement expresses its strong condemnation of Israel's heinous act of aggression against the blessed Al-Aqsa mosque and the holy city of Al-Quds al-Sharif - the demolishing of a historical road connecting Bab Al-Maghriba with the holy Al-Aqsa mosque compound, in addition to two rooms adjacent to Al-Buraq wall. The Non-Aligned Movement also condemns Israel's continued excavation work beneath the holy Al-Aqsa mosque compound, undermining its foundations and threatening it with collapse. The Non-Aligned Movement considers those acts and measures taken by Israel, the occupying Power, as a provocation to the feelings and sentiments of the more than one billion Muslims in the world. The Movement denounces Israel's continued policy of denying Palestinian worshippers access to their religious sites.”

  9. “The Movement rejects any attempt to alter the terms of reference of the peace process and further rejects the imposition of unilateral measures aimed at the imposition by Israel of an unlawful and unilateral solution. The Non-Aligned Movement stresses the need for the resumption of direct and substantive negotiations between the parties so as to achieve a comprehensive, just, lasting and peaceful settlement to the question of Palestine, on the basis of the relevant United Nations resolutions and in accordance with the norms and principles of international law enshrined therein.”

  10. “Israel must put an end to its occupation of and illegal practices in the occupied Palestinian territory, including the illegal construction of the separation wall, which is aimed at seizing and annexing Palestinian land and property and modifying the demographic and geographic character of the Palestinian territory. The Non-Aligned Movement reaffirms its support for Mahmoud Abbas, President of the Palestinian National Authority and Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization, in 2 his rejection of a so-called Palestinian State with provisional borders. Such a so-called provisional State would, in essence, be no more than an entity under the domain and control of Israel as the occupying Power, rather than a sovereign and independent State.”

  11. “As long as this situation remains unsolved, pockets of tension in the region will continue to proliferate. There can be no just and lasting solution to the question of Palestine that is not based on the principle of land for peace, which includes the establishment of an independent Palestinian State in all the Palestinian territory occupied since 1967, with East Jerusalem as its capital, living in peace and security with Israel and its other neighbours. Israel must immediately stop its aggression against the Palestinian civilian population and withdraw its troops from the Gaza Strip to the positions it occupied before June 2006.”

  12. “Mrs. Nl'ifiez Mordoche (Cuba) (spoke in Spanish): It is my honour to speak on behalf of the Non-Aligned Movement. The Non-Aligned Movement has reaffirmed on many occasions its clear position on the situation in the Middle East. The Movement is deeply concerned at the increasing deterioration in the situation on the ground and the impasse facing the peace process in the region. The Non-Aligned Movement has reiterated its deep concern at the situation in the occupied Palestinian territory during the most recent period, particularly as the result of the disproportionate, indiscriminate and excessive use of force by Israel, which has caused has caused a large death toll and injuries to Palestinian civilians as well as huge material destruction. It is clear that the question of Palestine is at the core of the problem in the Middle East.”

  13. “The only valid outcome of this meeting would be the adoption of measures to put a stop to the genocide and aggression and to condemn the perpetrator of the genocide and aggression. We therefore reiterate once again that the Security Council must act without delay and assume the responsibilities conferred on it by the Charter. This body cannot continue to remain silent and complicit in the face of these grave developments that are endangering international peace and security.”

  14. “On 16 July, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Cuba issued a statement strongly condemning the savage military aggression by Israel against the Lebanese Republic and urging the international community and peace-loving forces to mobilize and demand that Israel immediately put an end to such barbaric acts, return to Lebanon the territories that it has occupied and respect the most basic norms of international law. This meeting has been convened to debate the situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian question. We ask what issue relating to the region could be brought before the Security Council under the present circumstances other than the barbaric Israeli acts against the Palestinian people and the direct attacks against a sovereign State - the Lebanese Republic.”

  15. “Cuba has on countless occasions denounced Israeli violations of all the norms of international law by its military attack on a sovereign country under the spurious pretext of protecting its security, with the economic and military support and blatant and perfidious complicity of the United States Government, which through its veto power guarantees impunity for the aggressor regime and acts as a wall in the Security Council to prevent any form of condemnation. Once again, the Security Council's passivity regarding any issue that perturbs Washington and its allies could lead to a new humanitarian crisis with grave consequences for the entire region.”

  16. “On 12 July Israel launched a new large-scale military operation, this time against the Lebanese Republic. The number of civilian deaths is increasing with every passing day. The destruction of the country's infrastructure - including the runways of the Beirut international airport - is ongoing, and the water and power supplies for the civilian population have been seriously affected. As part of its aggression, the Israeli Government has imposed a tight naval and air blockade on the entire country and has openly and directly threatened to proceed with its aggression and to raze the southern suburbs of the capital of Lebanon as further proof of its known genocidal policy against the Arab peoples.”

  17. “This unpunished and continued aggression has undermined the spirit of the agreement reached between Palestinian political forces, which would allow for the resumption of peace negotiations between Palestinians and Israelis, as provided in relevant General Assembly and Security Council resolutions. Israel continues to act with impunity under the cover of the United States permanent veto in the Security Council. Just few days ago, that country wielded its veto power for the thirtieth time in connection with Council draft resolutions related to occupied Palestinian territories. Once again, the hegemonic Power is utterly paralyzing the Council and disregards the will of the overwhelming majority of the international community. One front of aggression is apparently not sufficient for the Zionist State.”

  18. “Israel's escalation of military attacks on the Palestinian people continues and increases despite strong international condemnation. Every day the number of innocent victims grows; every day the situation worsens for more than a million defenceless civilians, because practically all the infrastructure necessary to their survival is being destroyed. The already critical humanitarian situation is further deteriorating in the illegally occupied territories. Cuba condemns this inhumane and criminal aggression that deliberately seeks to put an economic and military stranglehold upon the resistance of the Palestinian people. The Security Council keeps silence and does not seem to be in a position to take strong action against the aggressor. With that inaction the Council is ensuring the impunity of this barbarism.”

  19. “Mrs. Nl'ifiez Mordoche (Cuba) (spoke in Spanish): Cuba fully supports the statement made by the representative of Malaysia on behalf of the Movement of Non-Aligned Countries. At this difficult time Cuba reaffirms its full solidarity with the Palestinian and Lebanese peoples, who are suffering again today the ruthless and cynical aggression of the Tel Aviv regime. Once more, we are gathered in this room to discuss issues related to the continued and flagrant violations of international peace and security, in the face of which this Council - the United Nations organ that supposedly should confront acts of aggression, according to the mandate conferred on it by the United Nations Charter - sits with hands folded, as further evidence of the double standard to which we are becoming accustomed.”
