  1. “We also welcome the recent meetings between Jordan, Egypt, the United States, Israel and the Palestinian Authority in Aqaba, Jordan and Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, aimed at de-escalating tensions, and we hope the commitments in the resulting joint communiqués will be fulfilled in good faith. Finally, the Philippines reiterates the importance of supporting steps that can expand the space for meaningful dialogue and negotiation, building trust and mutual understanding and cooperation for peace.”

  2. “On the work of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), we commend the Agency’s ongoing efforts, under extraordinary circumstances, to immediately respond to the humanitarian needs of affected populations, including refugees and non-refugees. We should therefore continue to support UNRWA’s work to protect the delivery of vital services to Palestine refugees. The Philippines has supported UNRWA’s work. On the way forward, the Philippines encourages the parties concerned to increase their focus on building trust and confidence. We welcome the recent establishment of diplomatic relations between Israel and a number of Arab countries, with a view to enhancing the prospects to reach a comprehensive settlement in the Middle East peace process.”

  3. “The goal should be to reach a mutually acceptable agreement that addresses the legitimate aspirations and concerns of both Israelis and Palestinians. Both sides, therefore, should actively take positive steps to allow for negotiations to gain traction and work together towards the resumption of negotiations to achieve an enduring peace. On the two-State solution, the Philippines has always expressed support for the creation of a State of Palestine living in peace and security with its neighbours. The Philippines reaffirms its support for a two-State solution, which envisions Israel and a viable Palestinian State living side by side in peace and security and mutual recognition. All parties, therefore, must refrain from unilateral actions that undermine the prospects for a two-State solution.”

  4. “The Philippines recognizes the resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as a key to the region’s peace and stability. The conflict can never be resolved by violence, but only through meaningful dialogue and negotiations in accordance with international law. Diplomacy must continue to be the driving force in achieving a just, lasting and comprehensive peace in the Middle East. Indeed, we all want a comprehensive, just and sustainable solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in order to achieve peace and stability in the Middle East region. Diplomatic efforts, therefore, must continue to bring the concerned parties to the negotiating table, foster communication and bridge the gaps in their positions.”

  5. “I would like to thank you, Mr. President, and the United Kingdom for convening today’s Security Council quarterly open debate on the Middle East, including the question of Palestine. I would also like to thank Assistant Secretary-General Mohamed Khaled Khiari for his briefing this morning. The Philippines follows with serious concern the recent developments surrounding Israel and Palestine, including the growing tensions on the ground. We join the international community in urging all the parties concerned to exercise maximum restraint and act responsibly, in accordance with international law. We also urge them to recognize the need to protect civilians, in accordance with international humanitarian law. We support all efforts to prevent all forms of violence, terrorism and violent extremism.”
