  1. “Resolution 497 (1981) declared null and void the Israeli decision to annex the occupied Golan; this was adopted following the Israeli Government's decision to expand its settlements in the occupied territories, in particular in the West Bank, the Arab part of Jerusalem, in Gaza and in the occupied Syrian Golan. Likewise, the Foreign Ministers of the Organization of the Islamic Conference, meeting at Jakarta on 14 December 1996, called upon the international community, the Security Council, the sponsors of the peace process and the European Union to persuade Israel to abandon its settlement policies in the occupied Arab territories, including Al-Quds and the occupied Syrian Golan" which, it was stressed, are part of the occupied Arab territories.”

  2. “Israel's feverish settlement activities may be seen in the framework of its aggressive behaviour, which is provocative and defies the binding decisions of the international community; the international community must firmly denounce and condemn that behaviour. The representatives who spoke here yesterday expressed that position exactly. As early as 1 December 1996, the Council of the League of Arab States condemned the settlement activities in the occupied Arab territories and the attitude of the Israeli Government, which persisted in its expansion of the settlements in violation of international law and internationally binding decisions, in particular Security Council resolution 465 (1980). That resolution determined that the settlements were an obstruction to achieving peace, and called upon Israel to dismantle them.”

  3. “It is clear that this recent decision of the Israeli Government is aimed at creating an explosive situation, as was the opening of the tunnel under the Al-Aqsa Mesque. At that time, the Security Council adopted resolution 1073 (1996) of 28 September 1996. In that resolution, the Council called for: "the immediate cessation and reversal of all acts which have resulted in the aggravation of the situation, and which have negative implications for the Middle East peace process". (res. 1073 (1996), para. 1) It is regrettable that Israel has not respected that resolution- just as it has not respected other internationally binding resolutions.”

  4. “' All this constitutes a clear and flagrant violation ofthe principles and basis of the peace process and of the decisions of the international community -- particularly Security Council resolutions 242 (1967), 252 (1968), 338 (1973) and 465 (1980) ~-- that affirm the inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by force. These decisions deem all measures and actions, including the expropriation of land and property, to be null and void and without effect on the status of occupied Jerusalem. The Netanyahu Government planned this new provocation very well within the framework of his aggressive colonization and ongoing campaign to Judaize Al-Quds. Indeed, it has already built the first Jewish neighbourhood in the Al-Quds neighbourhood of Ras al- Amud.”

  5. “Israel is'once again defying international will by taking the decision to build a new settlement and to continue its settlement activities in the region of J abal Abu Ghneim in the southern part of East Jerusalem. 3745th meeting iKSSumpllOn 1) Security Council 6 March [997 Fifty-second year It is no longer possible to remain silent in the face of all these injustices inflicted by Israel on the Palestinian people, particularly in the face of the serious and continued attempts to change the urban and demographic character of the City of Al-Quds, a historic and holy city and symbol. This is being done in order to enshrine the occupation of Al-Quds, judaize the Holy City and drive out the Arabs still living there.”

  6. “Mr. Wehbe (Syria) (interpretation from Arabic): I would like at the outset of my statement to congratulate you, Mr. President, on your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for this month. We are convinced that your wisdom and experience will contribute to ensuring the success of the Council during this period. I would also like to take this opportunity to express our thanks and profound appreciation to your predecessor, the Ambassador of Kenya, for his efforts last month. Given the attempts made in the occupied Arab territories to undermine the foundations of the peace process in the Middle East, the Security Council is meeting under extremely delicate and important circumstances.”
