  1. “India supports all diplomatic efforts, including by the Quartet, that are aimed at strengthening the collective commitment of the international community to resume those negotiations and facilitate the peace process. Let me conclude by reaffirming India’s unwavering commitment to the establishment of an independent, viable and democratic State of Palestine. There is no alternative to a two-State solution for ensuring meaningful and enduring peace.”

  2. “We take note of the postponement of the reconciliation meeting of all Palestinian parties that had been facilitated by Egypt and hope that the parties will overcome the current stalemate. We believe that intra-Palestinian unity is critical to achieving a peaceful settlement of the Israel-Palestine conflict. The peace process can no longer be kept on the back burner. The continuation of the impasse only exacerbates the trust deficit between the parties and increases the chances of the cycle of violence recurring. I again underscore the need for the immediate resumption of the Middle East peace process and direct negotiations between Israel and Palestine.”

  3. “We call for reinforced cooperation between the Israeli and Palestinian authorities in the area of humanitarian aid delivery, including food and medicine, and the movement of patients in and out of Gaza. We welcome the role played by United Nations agencies in facilitating the delivery of such aid, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East in particular. The rehabilitation and reconstruction of Gaza should also be prioritized. We recognize the centrality of the Palestinian Authority to the delivery of international assistance to the Palestinian people. We encourage all Palestinian parties to work with the Palestinian Authority to ensure the well-being of the people of Palestine.”

  4. “Incitement and inflammatory rhetoric, as witnessed during the recent escalation, only drive and fuel violence. We urge all parties to de-escalate the situation and to refrain from acts of provocation, intimidation and incitement that exacerbate tensions. Any attempt to unilaterally change the status quo that undercuts efforts to advance a negotiated two-State solution should also be avoided. The attention of the international community should not be diverted from the immediate need to provide humanitarian assistance to the Palestinian civilian population, particularly in Gaza. Such assistance should reach the Palestinian people through verified channels.”

  5. “I, too, thank Special Coordinator Tor Wennesland for his briefing. The recent developments in Palestine are of concern. After a period of brief calm, tensions are rising again in Gaza. The launch of incendiary balloons from Gaza targeting civilians in Israel and the retaliatory strikes into Gaza threaten to restart the cycle of violence, which recently caused immense suffering and resulted in deaths. We urge all parties to honour the ceasefire arrangement to ensure that the situation does not spiral out of control. The situation in the West Bank remains volatile. We are concerned at the potential for renewed violence in East Jerusalem and other parts of West Bank over the legal process that could lead to possible evictions in the Sheikh Jarrah and Silwan neighbourhoods, in East Jerusalem.”
