1. “Given that the non-compliance with international provisions, relevant United Nations resolutions and the Charter of the United Nations represents a major obstacle to international peace and security, the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela believes that the international community should focus on addressing the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. A disturbing example of this arbitrary policy of increasing non-compliance with international law is the United States of America’s recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of the State of Israel, a measure that we consider to be null and void, out of order and unilateral, and one that has had catastrophic effects on regional peace and security due to its illegal character. The only viable path to peace is a two-State solution based on the pre-1967 borders, as set out in resolution 2334 (2016).”

2. “In the past month alone, at least 47 Palestinian structures were demolished, while the expansion of the Wall and the increasing appropriation of Palestinian land for the construction of illegal settlements pushes the international community — day by day — further and further from the realization of a two-State solution and long-awaited peace, pursuant to the relevant resolutions adopted by the Council and within the framework of international law. The same is true of human rights violations and the rise in Palestinian detentions without any sort of due process. In March alone, 250 Palestinians, including 54 children, were detained. Moreover, during that period, 238 incursions were carried out, leaving three Palestinians dead and 52 injured.”

3. “The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela notes with concern that, despite the appeal made by the Secretary-General for an immediate global ceasefire in order to devote our collective energy to the fight against the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic that is ravaging humankind, the State of Israel continues to advance its colonial plans against the Palestinian people and territory through violence and terror. We note Israel’s recent accelerated progress in its policy of demolishing and confiscating Palestinian buildings.”

4. “The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela has the honour to participate in this quarterly open debate of the Security Council to express its position on a matter of particular importance for international peace and security — the situation in the Middle East, including the question of Palestine. In that context, allow us, at the very outset, to express our appreciation to Mr. Nickolay Mladenov, Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, for his valuable briefing. Similarly, the Venezuelan delegation associates itself with the statement delivered by the representative of the Republic of Azerbaijan on behalf of the Movement of Non-Aligned Countries.”
