“They are its targets and, increasingly, its instruments. Thousands have been subjected to sexual exploitation, prostitution, rape and sexual violence. More than a quarter of a million minors are currently being exploited as child soldiers, recruited at such a young age that they are robbed of their schooling and their youth. Israel assigns great importance to protecting children in armed conflict and is a party to the Convention on the Rights of the Child and its Optional Protocol on the involvement of children in armed conflict. Israel is proud to have co-sponsored today's resolution and commends Germany for initiating it. We are encouraged by the progress that has been made on this issue, as is highlighted in the Secretary- General's report (S/2011/250).”

“Mr. President, I would like to congratulate you on your stewardship of the Security Council this month and your able guidance of the Working Group on Children and Armed Conflict. Allow me to begin on a personal note. I speak before this Council not only as the Permanent Representative of the State of Israel, but also as a father. I am deeply proud that I raised my three children - Lior, Tourer and Oren - in Jerusalem. However, my children grew up in a reality where abnormality had become the norm. From infancy, they saw that every educational institution had to be protected with an armed guard, from preschools to kindergartens to high schools. The international community cannot accept this abnormality as a normal way of life. No family, no child should live under those circumstances. Children are the primary victims in armed conflict.”

“I want to thank, on behalf of the State of Israel, the President and all the people who have worked tirelessly in UNDOF over the years because their work, as I said, is an important component in the stability of our region.”

“The Syrian regime's fingerprints are all over these protests; to my mind, one does not have to be a New York City Police Department forensics expert to detect it. The events that followed the 5 June protests in the Yarmouk Palestinian refugee camp in Syria provide one glaring example of Syrian involvement in the demonstration. I think Bashar Al-Assad is the only ophthalmologist I know who is actively engaged in blackening the vision of hope of his own people and, indeed, of the whole region. 8 The Syrian-Israeli disengagement line has been quiet for decades. The Syrian regime cannot be allowed to disturb this quiet just because it does not want the cries of its own citizens to be heard.”

“Hundreds of individuals sought to breach the disengagement line with Israel in the areas of Majdal Chams and Quneitra. They tried to break through the fences in the area, threw Molotov cocktails and other large objects at the Israeli Defence Forces, and used other modes of violence to advance their goals. Despite its clear responsibilities, the Syrian regime did not prevent demonstrators from arriving at the disengagement line, or the attempts to cross it. To the contrary, these incidents, which could not have taken place without the knowledge of the Syrian authorities, reflect a blatant attempt by Syria to distract international attention from its violent repression of its own people.”

“Israel deeply appreciates the work carried out by the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF). The international community must continue to support its mission, which remains an important component of stability in our region. As we witness unprecedented turmoil in the Middle East, the need for all parties to fully respect the disengagement line between Israel and Syria has never been clearer. Yet after decades of relative quiet, we have witnessed several brazen attempts to breach the line from the Syrian side and raise tensions in our region. On 15 May, a large organized group of protesters tore down the Alpha fence in Syria, breached the disengagement line with Israel and carried out acts of violence against Israeli Defence Forces in the village of Majdal Chams. On 5 June, we saw another act of provocation on the line.”
