1. “That was reaffirmed at the ministerial meeting on UNRWA that I attended earlier this month. This year we have already contributed approximately $32 million to the Agency. Japan has also been making a significant effort to expand UNRWA's donor base by boosting Asian nations' involvement, including through the framework of the Conference on Cooperation among East Asian Countries for Palestinian Development. The next meeting of the Conference at the senior officials level will be held in the West Bank this summer.”

2. “We attach importance to the rule of law. The issue of unilateral attempts to change the status quo by force or coercion should be properly addressed by the international community. Japan continues to contribute to creating an environment conducive to the realization of peace by fostering confidence-building measures among the parties through unique efforts such as the Corridor for Peace and Prosperity initiative and its flagship project, the Jericho Agro-Industrial Park. We highly appreciate Israel's continued support for those initiatives. Let me finish by reiterating Japan's continued support to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA). The Agency is crucial not only for humanitarian purposes but also for stability in the region.”

3. “In that regard, the continued engagement by the United States is important, and we hope that its peace plan, which will be released in the not-too- distant future, will serve as a constructive basis for direct negotiations between Israel and Palestine. The conflict should be resolved through confidence-building and negotiations. We strongly condemn violence and terrorism against innocent citizens. The Government of Japan once again urges the Government of Israel to fully freeze its settlement activities, including the construction plan approved by Israel this month, which undermine the viability of a two-State solution. Unilateral attempts to change the status quo by force or coercion are not acceptable. Japan does not recognize the annexation of the Golan Heights by Israel. That position remains unchanged.”

4. “I thank you, Mr. President, for organizing this important open debate. I am grateful for the informative briefings by Under-Secretary-General DiCarlo as well as Mr. Bromberg and Ms. Majdalani of EcoPeace Middle East. Japan continues to support a two-State solution, where the State of Israel and a future State of Palestine live side by side in peace. Japan's position remains unchanged. We are concerned about the current impasse in the political process. While there is no easy way towards Middle East peace, it is important to resume direct dialogue among the parties to advance the peace process.”
