1. “I will not take much of the Council's time, but will only make a short remark on the speeches of the representatives of Syria and Iran. It is astonishing that countries that continue to actively support terror, sabotage the peace process and encourage suicide bombings and that continue to smuggle arms to the region - Lebanon and Gaza - in these very days and these very moments are lecturing us about the peace process, moral values and human rights records. I suggest to those countries and to some other Member States that spoke to dig into their own human rights records before speaking about others. In Israel, we are proud of the sense of self-criticism that we have as a society and as a State. We hope that countries like Syria and Iran, and some other Member States that spoke, will have a bit of that sense of self- criticism.”

2. “I do not want to take up any more of the Council's precious time. I think we had a long debate and that most of us shared the message of hope and progress in the peace process, yet I must refer to the statement by the representative of Iran. Again, his statement demonstrates the challenges before us posed by radical forces in the region, led by the Islamic forces of Iran, who consistently try to obstruct any progress towards peace. I think that every statement today conveyed a message of hope, but that made by the representative of Iran was in total contradiction of that message.”

3. “In this regard, Israel welcomes the ongoing and enhanced cooperation between the Council's three counter-terrorism Committees, as well as between these Committees and other counter-terrorism organs, such as the Counter-Terrorism Implementation Task Force. Israel, for its part, will continue to actively engage in the work of the Council's counter-terrorism Committees and to fully support their work. We are proud to be a donor country to CTED and to offer our vast experience, knowledge and best-practices to every State interested in improving its counter-terrorism abilities. Like all States, for Israel to be successful against terrorism, the international community must be successful against terrorism.”

4. “The dangerous nexus of terrorism and weapons of mass destruction remains a principal concern for Israel. As such, Israel fully supports resolution 1540 (2004), and we believe that it is a significant step towards the implementation of international standards against the threats of international terrorism and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. We welcome the adoption of resolution 1810 (2008) and the ongoing efforts for the full implementation of resolution 1540 (2004). We urge all members of the United Nations to reassess their compliance with resolution 1540 (2004) in an effort to redouble efforts to ensure that the world's most dangerous weapons do not fall into the hands of terrorists. Terrorism is an international plague that must be tackled in a global, holistic and comprehensive manner.”

5. “Israel encourages efforts to ensure that fair and clear procedures continue to be utilized in the listing and delisting of terrorist suspects. We welcome the decision of the Council to make accessible a summary of reasons for listing, including with regard to entries that were added to the Consolidated List before the adoption of resolution 1822 (2008). Israel further welcomes the decision to conduct a review of all names on the Consolidated List in order to ensure that the list is updated and accurate. The threat of conventional terrorism continues to require our full and undivided attention. Yet, the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction - chemical, biological, nuclear and radiological - presents an even more pressing threat to all of humanity.”

6. “In particular, we appreciate the efforts being taken by the Counter-Terrorism Committee and CTED to improve transparency in their work. We continue to look forward to a fruitful dialogue with these two organs in the future. Israel welcomes the adoption this year of resolution 1822 (2008), which extended the mandate of the Monitoring Team established to support the activity of the 1267 Committee. It remains critically important that the world community continues to pursue Al-Qaida, Osama bin Laden and the Taliban and other individuals, undertakings and entities associated with them in an uncompromising fashion. The recent adoption of resolution 1822 (2008) is further demonstration of the Security Council's commitment against those who seek to use terrorism and target innocent civilians.”

7. “Israel commends the ongoing work of the Counter-Terrorism Committee and the Counter- Terrorism Executive Directorate (CTED) in monitoring the national implementation of Security Council resolution 1373 (2001), including through the ongoing process of reviewing the preliminary implementation assessment submitted by Member States. The progress outlined in document S/2008/379 represents an important assessment of the compliance, or lack thereof, of anti-terrorism measures in different regions. It is Israel's hope that the preliminary implementation assessment review process, together with the new technical guide being drafted by CTED, will offer the Council effective ways to evaluate compliance with resolution 1373 (2001) and to offer constructive improvements. Israel supported the adoption of a working plan for CTED earlier this year.”

8. “Israelis and Israeli interests have been the target of terrorist attacks abroad, along our borders to the north and south, and in the very heart of the country. In this respect, Israel stresses that it is incumbent upon all States to adhere to their obligations under international law, including the relevant resolutions adopted by this Council, to prevent terrorism and to bring terrorists to justice. Unfortunately, some States fail to observe their international obligations and continue to offer safe havens to terrorists and, in certain cases, actively host and sponsor terrorism. As such, these States threaten international peace and security. For the Council to remain engaged and effective in the fight against terrorism, it must address these breaches of its counter- terrorism resolutions in a concrete and determined manner.”

9. “As such, the struggle against terrorism must be a global one. It must reflect the new realities of the twenty-first century, where money, men and materiel flow virtually without restriction from country to country. Because of the globalized world in which we live, the United Nations has an important role to play in coordinating and streamlining efforts to combat terrorism. While States bear the primary responsibility to prevent and combat terrorism, the United Nations must continue to review and implement a comprehensive approach to eliminating this scourge. The Security Council plays a central role in any such effort. The State of Israel has been challenged by terrorism from its very beginning.”

10. “Allow me to congratulate you, Sir, on holding the presidency of the Council this month, and thank you for convening this important debate. My delegation also congratulates the Chairpersons of the counter-terrorism subsidiary bodies on their able stewardship, and I wish to thank them for their informative briefings this morning. As this Council has reiterated many times, terrorism in all its forms and manifestations is illegal, unacceptable and constitutes a threat to international peace and security. There is never any justification for terrorism. Terrorism as a global phenomenon is multifaceted and carries multiple identities. It is viewed both as a battlefield and an enemy, a weapon and a method of warfare, a strategy and a tactic, a means and an end. Terrorism knows no borders and is not confined by archaic boundaries.”
