  3. “I now resume my functions as President of the Security Council. I would like to remind all speakers to limit their statements to no more than four minutes in order to enable the Council to carry out its work expeditiously. To that end, I want to take this opportunity to remind speakers that the presidency will use the flashing lights on the microphone collars in order to prompt speakers to bring their remarks to a close. Delegations with lengthy statements are kindly requested to circulate them in writing and to deliver a condensed version when speaking in the Chamber. I want to inform everyone that we will be continuing the open debate right through the lunch hour, as we have a large number of speakers. I now give the floor to the representative of Lebanon.”

  4. “To sum up, a credible peace plan is urgently needed, and the two sides have to prepare for peace in a completely different way - in what they say, what they do and how women and young people are involved. Confidence between the parties must be built now. Both Israelis and Palestinians have to realize that either peace is gained together or both will lose. The situation in and around Gaza is untenable. Millions of people are caught between Hamas and other militant groups, on the one hand, and the crippling Israeli closure regime, on the other. Mediation has temporarily put a Band-Aid on the wound, but it will never heal unless there is a real solution. While that solution is being explored, urgent measures are needed to alleviate the humanitarian situation. We are working with all Council members to see how that can be achieved.”

  5. “We reiterate that settlements are a flagrant violation under international law. Israel's actions further include recent legislative changes and proposals and their implications, which raise concerns about the right to self-determination and non-discrimination. Lastly, they include economic hindrances, restrictions and limitations imposed on Palestine that make a viable Palestinian economy unattainable. We must reinvigorate the efforts for a two-State solution based on international law, United Nations resolutions, previous agreements and well-known parameters, with Jerusalem as the future capital for two States and three religions. We must redouble our support for a contiguous Palestinian State, including the return of the Palestinian Government to Gaza, and we must act urgently together for the people of Gaza.”

  6. “Sweden is UNRWA's third-largest contributor, and we remain committed to it. Ensuring the care, health, education and protection of children today is essential to laying the foundations for preventing further conflict in the future. Finally, Israeli policy and actions in the occupied West Bank are severely undermining the possibility of a contiguous Palestinian State. They include the demolition of homes, and notably the imminent threat of the demolition of Khan Al-Ahmar and the recent demolitions in Abu Nuwar and other places in Area C. Demolitions further increase the risk of forcible transfers of the Palestinian population, which are illegal under international law. They also include the current Israeli settlement policy, which continues despite the international community's repeated condemnations.”

  7. “Last month the Council adopted resolution 2419 (2018), on youth, peace and security, which called for increasing the role of young people in negotiating and implementing peace agreements. The voices of young Israelis and Palestinians must be heard. Ensuring a safe childhood for all children is essential to peaceful and prosperous societies. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), which among other things secures the right to education for young Palestinians, plays a crucial role in that regard, not least in Gaza. It is now facing an unprecedented financial crisis, owing to a lack of contributions. We call on all donor countries to step up their efforts and meet their pledges, and we reiterate our call to other countries to contribute financially to UNRWA at this critical juncture.”

  8. “Through our extensive international development cooperation programme with Palestine, we will continue to work for enhanced political influence and the full enjoyment of human rights for women, young people and children. The same work is being done through dialogue with civil society and other actors in both Israel and Palestine. Secondly, turning to young people and children, the conflict between Israel and Palestine has a negative effect on children on both sides. Many in the post- Oslo generation, both Israelis and Palestinians, have lost hope for the realization of a two-State solution. We need to show those young people that there is an alternative to violence and oppression.”

  9. “I will focus on three issues today i the important role of women in peace and security; children and the engagement of young people; and the negative developments on the ground. First, with regard to women and peace and security, women are too often excluded globally from efforts to resolve conflicts, to the detriment of solid and sustainable peace. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is unfortunately no exception. That must change. A peace process cannot merely be about ending the occupation and the conflict. It must also be about building peaceful, vibrant, inclusive societies that are less susceptible to the threat of extremism. Empowering and including women and girls is an essential part of that.”

  10. “We have repeatedly demanded that any use of force must be proportionate. The firing of rockets and the launch of incendiary balloons and kites from Gaza into Israel by Hamas and other militant groups are absolutely unacceptable. We welcome the recent truce and the planned reopening of the Kerem Shalom crossing. Efforts to achieve a lasting peace and an end to the occupation must be intensified. There is a humanitarian imperative to alleviate the suffering of the 2 million Gazans. Interventions with quick, direct and immediate impact on daily lives are urgently needed. This must be given utmost priority, while recognizing that the causes of the humanitarian crisis are political in their nature. We urge Israel to lift its closure regime, and we call for Palestinian reconciliation and the return of the Palestinian Authority to Gaza.”

  11. “I shall now make a statement in my capacity as representative of Sweden. I want to thank Special Coordinator Nickolay Mladenov for his briefing to the Council and for his tireless efforts on the ground. We align ourselves with the statement to be delivered by the observer of the European Union later in this meeting. A year and a half ago, in resolution 2334 (2016), the Council reaffirmed the steps needed to achieve a lasting Israeli-Palestinian peace. The Council demanded that both parties stop all activities impeding such progress. Since then, unfortunately, the situation has continued to deteriorate. Israeli settlement expansion has continued and there is an imminent risk of further violent escalation. In Gaza in recent months, violence has killed over 152 Palestinians and injured more than 16,499, including many children.”

  12. “I thank Mr. Mladenov for his briefing. I now give the floor to the Permanent Observer of the Observer State of Palestine.”

  13. “Before each participant is a list of speakers who have requested to participate in accordance with rules 37 and 39 of the Council's provisional rules of procedure, as well as the previous practice of the Council in this regard. We propose that they be invited to participate in this meeting. In accordance with rule 39 of the Council's provisional rules of procedure, I invite Mr. Nickolay Mladenov, Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process and Personal Representative of the Secretary-General, to participate in this meeting. Mr. Mladenov isjoining us via video-teleconference from Jerusalem. The Security Council will now begin its consideration of the item on its agenda. I give the floor to Mr. Mladenov.”
