  1. “In conclusion, the responsibility to protect civilians and provide health care in armed conflict reflects a genuine commitment by Member States, especially in the light of diverse threats that we are facing today in terms of the growing terrorism and extremism that are threatening all parts of the world and are violating principles of human rights law and international humanitarian law and all other bodies of international law.”

  2. “These prisoners are continuing their hunger strike as a call on Israeli prison authorities to abandon their policies of isolation and administrative detention.

  3. “Thirdly, we would like to stress that it is important to implement the measures aimed at improving the protection of medical facilities and personnel as well as measures for prevention, protection and accountability. In the light of the ongoing crisis in Syria and its political, security and social repercussions that are a still having impact on Syria's neighbours and other countries hosting Syrian refugees, Jordan has demonstrated its respect for international laws in the way it deals with these refugees. Jordan has coordinated with different specialized United Nations agencies to facilitate the entry of humanitarian relief convoys into southern Syria in implementation of resolution 2165 (2014), and this assistance includes non-food items. Today, the strike by Palestinian prisoners of war is in its thirty-ninth day.”

  4. “First, Jordan welcomes the report of the Secretary- General of 10 May 2017 on the protection of civilians in armed conflict (S/2017/414), the former Secretary- General's recommendations attached to his letter addressed to the President of the Security Council on 18 August 2016 (S/2016/722, annex), and the latter's briefing to the Council on 28 September 2016 (see S/PV.7779). Secondly, Jordan attaches great importance to the international humanitarian law and international human rights law and is in full compliance with all their provisions, which is evidenced by the full compliance of our security agencies and the Jordanian personnel in peacekeeping operations with those bodies oflaw.”

  5. “I would like to express Jordan's condolences to the United Kingdom on the terrorist attack that took place in Manchester and led to the death of a number of children and other innocent civilians The Security Council adopted resolution 2286 (2016) unanimously in response to the violence, attacks and threats against medical personnel in armed conflict. These threats and attacks are not limited to those who were working in the medical and humanitarian fields alone, but they also target the means of transportation being used and medical equipment and facilities. Our meeting today to discuss the steps taken by States to implement resolution 2286 (2016) one year after its adoption is important. I would therefore like to underscore the following.”

My delegation would like to express its appreciation to Secretary-General Antonio Guterres for his invaluable briefing. We also thank the Vice-President of the International Committee of the Red Cross and the Deputy Executive Director of Human Rights Watch for their statements.”

  7. “We encourage the parties in Syria to build confidence so as to reach a comprehensive political solution. The current phase calls for concerted efforts to help the Syrian people overcome the crisis. Jordan is pleased to note the Turkish-Russian agreement for restoring calm in Syria and other positive developments that have led to concrete results with regard to the safe evacuation of Syrian civilians from Aleppo. We look forward to the political discussion to take place in Astana. We hope that they will foster an environment conducive to the resumption of the United Nations- sponsored Geneva discussions.”

  8. “Those terrorist groups are responsible for the fear not only of only individuals but of entire communities because of their bloody tactics and horrible crimes, which have claimed the lives of countless civilians. Turning to Syria, since the beginning of the crisis we have maintained a principled position aimed at ending the violence and reaching a Syrian- led political process, led with a unified international vision for its guiding principle based on the relevant Security Council resolutions, the Geneva communique (S/2012/522, annex) and the recommendations of the International Syrian Support Group that would ensure Syria's unity and territorial integrity and support the pluralistic nature of the State of Syria. We support all sincere efforts to end the crisis in Syria.”

  9. “The continued lack of stability would lead to the targeting of many parts of the international community, helping the terrorist groups to become the biggest winner. Jordan reaffirms that, now more than ever, serious cooperation and willingness at the international and regional levels to combat terrorism must receive the utmost priority. We therefore need to respond to threats that affect stability and undermine security in the region, in particular, and international peace and security in general. We need to support such a response so that we can confront the terrorist groups that have exploited the instability and political vacuum in the region to expand their power.”

  10. “Israel must objectively and positively look at recent developments. Its continued intransigence with regard to and rejection of developments and settlement activities is a threat to the two-State solution and its own security. Those international efforts are not directed against Israel but aimed at achieving the two-State solution in accordance with international law. Success in reaching an agreement would actually achieve the aspirations of the Palestinian people and security for Israel. The Palestinian question is the primary concern of the countries of the region and many others throughout the world. Failure to reach a just and comprehensive settlement of the issue would lead to an increase in extremism, Violence and terrorism in the region. The region cannot sustain any more tension and violence.”

  11. “This is based on the custodianship of the Hashemite Kingdom over Islamic and Christian holy sites. That is the mandate of Abdullah II, King of Jordan. We support any serious initiatives aimed at promoting the peace process through serious negotiations and also supported the Paris Conference, which reflected the true will of the international community towards a solution to the conflict. We reaffirm that negotiations aimed at a two-State solution need to take place within a specific time frame. Despite the fact that such efforts will not lead to an immediate end to the conflict, it is, however, a chance to end the long stalemate in the peace process and create momentum to end the political vacuum, which will, sooner or later, lead to a more severe conflict between the two parties and in the region as a whole.”

  12. “Statements by Israel that it is committed to the two-State solution and is ready to negotiate directly with the Palestinians will not have any significance unless they are coupled with concrete action on the ground based on international resolutions. We reaffirm our principled position that the resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict will happen only when the occupation ends and an independent and Viable Palestinian State is established that is based on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, based on international terms of reference that include the Arab Peace Initiative and the relevant United Nations resolutions. We reaffirm that we will continue to defend Islamic and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem and to protect them.”

  13. “It asserted the important principle that the Security Council would not acknowledge any changes to the 1967 borders, that settlements are illegal, and that Israel should be compelled to adhere to its obligations under international law and needs to put an end to all illegal settlements on Palestinian territory. We have repeatedly condemned Israel's illegal practices and its unilateral actions, as an occupying Power, against the Palestinian people as well as the policy of imposing a new reality on the ground, including the demolition of homes, the confiscation of land and the displacement of civilians. Peace cannot be imposed or even achieved unless the two parties take bold action that end the tension and violence and build confidence.”

  14. “In this regard, we call on the Security Council to shoulder its responsibilities; enhance the momentum achieved; and implement the resolution in full and use it in the context of innovative initiatives that would lead to a two-State solution being realized and to a comprehensive settlement in terms of final status. The adoption of resolution 2354 (2015) and its condemnation of Israeli settlement plans in the occupied Palestinian territory, particularly East Jerusalem, reflects the reaction of the international community to settlement activity, in particular in view of the unprecedented increase in settlements and in the number of settlers on occupied Palestinian territory.”

  15. “The resolution of the Palestinian - Israeli conflict requires reasonable and wise decisions that do not repeat the mistakes of the past and that end the policies of tyranny and deprivation of rights. This has only brought more tension, extremism and violence to the region. The efforts made recently at all levels to break the stalemate in the conflict have had increasing political significance given the adoption of resolution 2334 (2016) and the Paris Conference held two days ago. Jordan welcomes the adoption of this resolution and the French initiative.”

  16. “Ms. Sughayar (Jordan) (spoke in Arabic): We congratulate you, Sir, on your assumption of the presidency of the Council for this month. I thank the Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, Mr. Mladenov, for his comprehensive briefing. This discussion comes at a critical point in time, not just because it coincides with recent developments, which have included many actions on the Palestinian political track, but also because it touches on important issues in the Middle East since the appointment of the new Secretary-General. We hope that the new Secretary-General will directly and effectively exert influence to bring about stability and security in the region. The Middle East region requires sincere, major efforts in order to achieve unity and peace, efforts that address the root causes of the conflict.”
