  1. “Israel has been disrespecting all the calls of the international community, including the resolutions of the Security Council and the General Assembly, and ignoring the legitimate calls to implement the two-State solution. That is why we are here today, witnessing an escalation of violence and the death and injury of civilians. We would like to repeat that the only solution to this crisis and the only way to establish peace in Palestine and the entire region is to establish an independent, viable and sovereign Palestinian State, with East Jerusalem as its capital, under a two-State solution, based on the pre-1967 borders.”

  2. “Moreover, we unequivocally reject Israel’s call to forcibly displace the Palestinians from their own homeland, which is an attempt to cause a further deterioration of the humanitarian situation in the entire region. In that regard, we urge the Council to take the necessary action to immediately stop the attacks by Israel and to hold it accountable for its war crimes and blatant disrespect for international humanitarian law. Israel has been continuing its illegal policies and practices to entrench its illegal occupation of the Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem, having severely isolated the Gaza Strip under a nearly 16-year blockade.”

  3. “Since 7 October, 35 UNRWA personnel have been killed by Israel, including 6 in the past 24 hours. A total 40 UNRWA installations have been damaged. UNRWA staff and facilities must not be the targets of any attack. Fourthly — and unsurprisingly — Israel, reflecting its nature, has been launching attacks on hospitals and refugee camps and even demanding that UNRWA evacuate schools. The whole world was shocked by the unimaginable atrocity of the heinous bombing of the Al Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza. Even during that unbearable situation, it did not stop its attacks in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem. A total of 91 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank and 1,734 injured since 7 October.”

  4. “Secondly, 30 per cent of all housing units in the Gaza Strip have been either destroyed, rendered uninhabitable or moderately damaged since the start of the Israeli military aggression. More than 1 million people remain internally displaced, including nearly 600,000 in 150 facilities of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA). They do not have enough food, water and fuel to survive. It is our first duty to ensure necessary, adequate and life-saving humanitarian assistance to save the people who survived the brutal military attack by Israel. Thirdly, UNRWA has been a lifeline for Palestinians, including those who are living in Gaza. We condemn the killing of United Nations and other aid workers, health personnel and journalists in Gaza.”

  5. “Owing to the indiscriminate and disproportionate attacks by Israel, dead bodies are piling up, houses are being flattened, and unarmed civilians, including children, women and elderly people, are on the run to save their lives. Such horrendous collective punishment perpetrated against a civilian population is unacceptable under all legal and moral doctrines, in sheer violation of international humanitarian and human rights law and tantamount to war crimes. Allow me to highlight a few points. First and foremost, we need an immediate ceasefire to save the helpless population in Gaza facing continuous and indiscriminate bombardments. Regretting that the Security Council failed to adopt a draft resolution on a humanitarian ceasefire, we urge the Council once again to take the necessary steps to reach an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.”

  6. “We thank the presidency of Brazil for organizing this important open debate. I also thank all the briefers for their comprehensive briefings. Today it is both unacceptable and difficult to endure that, while we are here delivering long statements on international humanitarian law, human rights, the protection of civilians and war crimes, people, including children, are dying in Gaza. Over the past two weeks, more than 5,000 people have been killed in Gaza, more than 2,000 of whom were children. Women and children make up more than 62 per cent of the fatalities. As of today, more than 15,000 people have been injured.”
