  1. “There is no doubt that the conflicts in the Middle East, including the tragedy of the Palestinian question and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, with the occupation now in its fiftieth year and what seems to be chronic divisions within the Security Council, have allowed menaces, such as violent extremism and terrorism, to flourish in the region and reach the proportions we must contemplate today, as we collectively grapple with the elusive search for viable solutions. Therefore, the multifaceted dimension and root causes of the region's conflicts must be addressed without exception and in the context of international law, including humanitarian and human rights law, and with adherence to the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations, the guarantors for peace and security in the Middle East and globally.”

  2. “The OIC stands ready to address and to cooperate for the resolution of the many other critical issues in the Middle East, including the grave situations in the region, at the appropriate meetings in the Security Council dedicated to the review of those specific situations, with the aim of ending the human suffering and crises in those countries and of contributing to the establishment of peace and stability in the Middle East region. The OIC firmly believes in addressing the root causes of conflicts, including foreign occupation, the lack of opportunities, politically motivated agendas and political alienation and aggression, in order to create space for improving international peace and security.”

  3. “We reiterate the call for an end to this massive form of collective punishment of the Palestinian people and for urgent efforts to reconstruct, rehabilitate and revive Gaza, which also remains an integral part of the Palestinian territory occupied since 1967. Today, we must also reiterate the call for attention to the plight of Palestinian political prisoners in Israeli detention centres. We call for respect of their rights, in accordance with the Fourth Geneva Convention and international human rights law, and for an end to their abuse and captivity by the occupying Power. The hunger strike recently undertaken by thousands of prisoners is a cry for attention to their critical plight and for action to resolve it, and we appeal for international compassion and responsibility in this regard.”

  4. “The OIC remains firm in its conviction that the Security Council must not be absolved of its role in this regard and should act to ensure the realization by the Palestinian people of their right to self-determination, sovereignty and independence in their state of Palestine in the territory occupied since 1967, with East Jerusalem as its capital, as well as a just solution for the plight of the Palestine refugees in line with United Nations resolutions and international law. I must also, at this meeting, reiterate the concerns of the OIC regarding the grave humanitarian suffering being endured by the Palestinian people throughout occupied Palestine, including in the Gaza Strip, where the Palestinian civilian population continues to suffer from the inhumane, illegal Israeli blockade, now in its tenth year.”

  5. “The Security Council must demand that all such illegal acts cease and that Israel, the occupying Power, abide by its obligations under international law and United Nations resolutions regarding Jerusalem. In this regard, the OIC reiterates its firm commitment to the rights of the Palestinian people in occupied East Jerusalem, which forms an integral part of the Palestinian territory occupied since 1967.”

  6. “The OIC also continues to view with profound concern Israel's frequent provocative violations and assaults against holy places, especially Al-Aqsa mosque, and its policies to change the Arab character, status, landmarks and demographic composition of occupied East Jerusalem, including through the building of settlements in the city, excavating beneath the Al-Aqsa mosque, desecrating Islamic and Christian sites, including by extremist Israeli settlers and religious fanatics, and demolishing homes and evicting Palestinian residents, with a view to isolating occupied East Jerusalem from its Palestinian environs. All such actions continue to raise tensions and sensitivities and are alarmingly aggravating the fragile situation on the ground, with the potential to spark grave consequences.”

  7. “We further appeal for the international community's sustained engagement, as also called for by resolution 2334 (2016), and its full support at this critical period for sponsorship for a timed multilateral political process that would lead to the enforcement of United Nations resolutions aimed at finally ending the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian land, in effect since 1967, and achieving the internationally endorsed two-State solution, to which the OIC remains unflinchingly committed.”

  8. “The OIC therefore calls upon the Security Council to ensure the full compliance of Israel, the occupying Power, with its legal obligations under international law. The Council must act to uphold its responsibilities to halt Israeli settlement acts, which have been manifestly and deliberately escalated in the occupied Palestinian territory, especially in and around East Jerusalem.”

  9. “The escalation ofillegal Israeli settlement activities in the last few months through the establishment of a new colonialist settlement, along with the adoption of the Israeli regularization law, an illegal scheme aimed at entrenching so-called settlement outposts, are of grave concern and must be condemned. The OIC reaffirms that the continuation of Israeli settlement policy would undermine the territorial integrity, viability and contiguity of a future Palestinian State, let alone the fact that settlement activities are illegal acts constituting flagrant violations of international law and United Nations resolutions, in particular resolution 2334 (2016), which unequivocally demanded an end to all such activities.”

  10. “I have the honour to deliver this statement on behalf of the States members of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in my capacity as Chair of the OIC Group. This meeting takes place in a climate overburdened by the increasingly unstable and volatile situation in the Middle East, with the unresolved and festering question of Palestine remaining at the heart of unrest in the region. The OIC is very concerned about the contempt by Israel, the occupying Power, for the Security Council's authoritative decisions and demands, in contravention of international law and in total obstruction of a political horizon for a peaceful solution.”
