  1. “In that regard, we affirm that in order for justice to be established and for a genuine, lasting peace to materialize, an internationally sponsored political process based on United Nations resolutions and the Arab Peace Initiative must be launched, with a view to ending the Israeli occupation and enabling the Palestinian people to fulfil their legitimate and national rights to live in freedom and dignity in their independent Palestinian State, on the territory occupied since 1967, with East Jerusalem as its capital, and to find ajust and lasting solution for the Palestinian refugees, in line with resolution 194 (III).”

  2. “Only accountability, in line with international legal obligations, can create the pressure necessary to end the Israeli occupation and ensure the legitimate and inalienable rights of the Palestinian people - the cornerstone of peace and security in the Middle East. While the economic empowerment of the Palestinian people is imperative, addressing the dire economic situation in Palestine should not overshadow the core of the Palestinian issue and the root cause of the plight of the Palestinian people, which is essentially the Israeli colonial occupation and its far-reaching consequences. The underlying issues of this historic injustice must be directly and fully addressed.”

  3. “Such an illegal decision is an act ofpiracy and collective punishment against the Palestinian people and constitutes a violation of international law and of Israel's commitments under signed agreements, thereby exacerbating the financial, economic and humanitarian crisis being encountered by the Palestinian people, which is especially dire in the Gaza Strip - which remains under an illegal Israeli blockade - and has caused such poverty and devastation. The OIC once again underscores that the lack of effective international deterrent measures has only emboldened Israel to pursue racist, destructive and illegal acts and practices with total impunity.”

  4. “It is unfortunate that the Security Council has so far failed to put an end to all measures, decisions or statements by any party aimed at forcibly and unlawfully altering the legal, historical, cultural and political status of the occupied city of Jerusalem, including attempts to relocate some diplomatic missions thereto, which constitute blatant Violations of international law and relevant United Nations provisions and undermine the rule of international law, deepen the current political impasse, erode the two-State solution based on the 1967 borders and foreclose all prospects for peace and stability. The dire situation in Palestine is becoming even more dangerous owing to the decision by the Israeli authorities to forcibly withhold Palestinian tax revenues.”

  5. “Under international law and relevant United Nations resolutions, including resolution 2334 (2016), there are clear obligations to ensure Israel's full compliance, including in relation to the question of Jerusalem - the occupied capital of the State of Palestine - which has been enduring endless Israeli attempts of isolation, Judaization, colonization and subjugation.”

  6. “The OIC cautions that such acts contribute to further consecrating, entrenching and perpetuating the illegal Israeli colonial occupation of Palestinian territory and the acquisition of territory by force, further fuelling tensions and violence, fomenting religious conflict and constituting a threat to international peace and security. We call on this organ to uphold its responsibilities under the Charter of the United Nations with regard to the Palestine question and the decades-long quest to ensure a just, peaceful solution to the conflict and security in the region.”

  7. “Such illegal actions have been ongoing for more than half a century, in violation of international law and the Council's resolutions, and must be halted. The OIC Ministers also expressed particular concern about recent events surrounding the inauguration of the excavation of the so-called Pilgrims Road underneath the Silwan neighbourhood towards Al-Aqsa Mosque. Deplorably, that inauguration was attended by representatives of the United States Administration, in total disregard of international law and norms and in blatant disrespect of Muslim sentiments.”

  8. “That has included, in particular, illegal, provocative and destabilizing acts concerning the holy sites in occupied East Jerusalem, including excavations that are directly threatening the sanctity, stability and status of Christian and Islamic holy sites such as Al-Haram Al-Sharif, which houses the holy Al-Aqsa Mosque. In that regard, we draw the Council's attention to the OIC Executive Committee's extraordinary open-ended meeting at the level of Foreign Ministers, which convened on 17 July to consider the escalating frequency and brutality of colonialist Israeli Violations. The OIC Ministers stressed their grave concern over all unlawful Israeli attempts to alter the historical, political and legal status and demographic composition of occupied East Jerusalem.”

  9. “Israel is acting in full contempt of the Council and making a mockery of our rules-based order. The Security Council has a direct responsibility to put an end to this culture of impunity and hold Israel accountable for its crimes. Day by day, the two-State solution is being eroded by those policies, and with that, the hopes, dreams and fundamental rights of millions of Palestinians living under a gruesome and belligerent occupation are being denied. Since the Security Council's previous open debate on the question of Palestine (S/PV.8517), developments have made for an even grimmer outlook as Israel persists with its illegal policies and measures, heightening tensions and the volatility of the situation in Palestine.”

  10. “Seventeen Palestinians, including 11 children, were displaced, while more than 350 others also face the threat of displacement. The Israeli occupying forces began the demolition process of at least 10 residential buildings, citing a lack of permits and security concerns regarding the proximity of those buildings to the illegal apartheid wall. In that regard, we must reaffirm our position, as well as the international consensus, and refer back to international law in insisting that the wall is illegal, the settlements are illegal and any action to advance either of those is illegal. The continuing destructive, colonial practice of demolishing Palestinian property and forced displacement of Palestinians must be put to an end. The flouting of international law cannot be disregarded.”

  11. “I have the honour to deliver this statement on behalf of the States members of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), in Uganda's capacity as Vice-Chair of the OIC Council of Foreign Ministers. Before I do that, I wish, in my national capacity, to extend my delegation's regards and congratulations to you, Mr. President, on the manner in which you are conducting the work of the Council in this month of July. I also wish to extend our heartfelt condolences to the Government of Japan for the passing away of Mr. Yukiya Amano, the late Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency. At the outset, the OIC believes it imperative to highlight the illegal actions that took place yesterday, 22 July, when Israel, the occupying Power, forcibly displaced Palestinians from their homes in occupied East Jerusalem.”
