“The United Nations and the international community, as well as the influential parties, must take action to bring pressure to bear on Israel to ensure that it complies with the dozens of resolutions that reaffirm the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination on its own national territory, including East Jerusalem, based on the 1967 borders. There must also be a comprehensive, just settlement of the issue of Palestinian refugees, without which there can be no peaceful settlement.”

“Jordan believes that recognition of the Palestinian State within the United Nations is neither a substitute for direct negotiations nor is it aimed at delegitimizing Israel, for such recognition of the Palestinian State would leave five points of the final status negotiations pending, which means that the conflict would continue without being fully addressed. Jordan therefore believes that the latest statement of the Quartet is clear and creates a good opportunity for returning to the negotiating table, as long as there is full respect without conditions for its substantive contents or without any reservations that could deny any meaning to the negotiations.”

“That request was made to the United Nations after Israel had impeded all international and regional efforts towards a resumption of negotiations and had denied the negotiations any substance due to its settlement activities and its refusal to negotiate on the basis of the 1967 borders. Jordan also reaffirms its support for a final solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that addresses all final status issues, including the issues of settlements, Jerusalem, refugees, borders and water, within specific timeframes.”

“As long as short-term political gains retain priority over long-term strategic interests, Israel will remain incapable of building a better future for its people. Political decision makers in Israel need therefore to promote broader strategic interests rather than short-term interests. Today, more than ever, it is necessary for Israeli decision makers to consider the future and free their foreign policy from a siege-based mindset in order to establish good- neighbourly relationships based on equality. Jordan confirms its support for Palestine's application to full membership as an independent State on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.”

“Mr. Tarawneh (Jordan) (spoke in Arabic): Today we are experiencing an Arab renewal that seeks realization of its hopes and aspirations, rejects the current situation and calls for a better future with dignity. After the current stage, the most pressing issue on the way forward will require attention to the Arab peoples' pride and sources of indignation that will need to be resolved. I refer, in particular, to the Israeli- Palestinian conflict, which has lasted far too long. In fact, the calls of the Arab Spring are for justice and non-discrimination will not accept that Israel or any other party remain above the law or international legitimacy. It is absolutely unacceptable that Israel would continue to build settlements, thus undermining the efforts to settle the conflict based on the two-State solution and the 1967 borders.”
