  1. “We wish to affirm that an international consensus to achieve a just and comprehensive solution to the Middle East conflict requires the enforcement of international law and the implementation of international legal resolutions. At this important juncture, acknowledging and fully supporting Palestinian State-building efforts, meeting our obligations and maintaining our political will and financial commitments to the Palestinian Authority are therefore of special significance. I wish to reaffirm the full support and solidarity of the OIC with the Palestinian people in their endeavour to regain their legitimate and inalienable national rights, including the rights of return, self-determination and the establishment of the independent Palestinian State on their national soil, with East Jerusalem as its capital.”

  2. “The OIC group also reaffirms that East Jerusalem remains an integral part of the Palestinian territory occupied by Israel since 1967, and that its illegal annexation by Israel continues to be rejected and unrecognized by the international community. Muslims will never tolerate Israel's aggressions against the Al-Aqsa Mosque, one of the most sacred Islamic sites. Israel's continuing acts of aggression against Muslim and Christian holy sites in East Jerusalem could have serious repercussions on regional and international peace and security. The United Nations therefore has a special responsibility to pressure Israel to put an end to those aggressions and to respect international law and the Fourth Geneva Convention.”

  3. “Similarly, Israeli illegal practices in East Jerusalem - including settlement construction, excavations underneath the Al-Aqsa Mosque, the depopulation of East Jerusalem of its indigenous Palestinian citizens, the illegal confiscation of Palestinian properties, the isolation of East Jerusalem from its Palestinian environs and the alteration of its demographic fabric and character - have reached alarming rates. These illegal Israeli practices are flagrant violations of international law and pose a challenge to the international community. The OIC group reaffirms the centrality of the cause of Palestine for the entire Islamic world, and stresses the Palestinian, Arab and Islamic character of occupied East Jerusalem, as well as the need to fully respect the sanctity of Islamic and Christian holy places therein.”

  4. “Israel, the occupying Power, continues to illegally build settlements in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, construct the apartheid wall, restrict Palestinians' access to places of worship, escalate acts of violence by fanatic settlers against civilian Palestinians, deny the free movement of people and goods, and confiscate Palestinian homes and lands. Such violations of international law have become a daily practice that systematically undermines prospects for the two-State solution and destabilizes the region.”

  5. “At the same time, the international community has a special responsibility to assist the Palestinian people in realizing their national rights to self-determination, sovereignty and independent statehood in the territory occupied by Israel since 1967, with East Jerusalem as its capital, as well as to help find a just solution for the plight of Palestinian refugees, in line with General Assembly resolution 194 (III). Prospects for peace and justice in the region are challenged by Israel's colonial and discriminatory policies in Arab-occupied lands.”

  6. “I have the honour to address the Security Council on behalf of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) group in New York. Our open debate today comes at a time when the situation in the Middle East, and the occupied Palestinian territory in particular, is becoming increasingly unstable. Israel's military occupation of Arab lands, its flagrant violations of international law and its denial of the national rights and aspirations of the Palestinian people remain major causes of unrest in the region and pose a serious challenge for this body. The OIC group affirms that the establishment of a just and lasting peace in the Middle East requires firm and prompt action by the Security Council to ensure the full compliance of Israel, the occupying Power, with its legal obligations and commitments, and to end its military occupation.”
