  1. “In conclusion, I reiterate the OIC’s unwavering support for the just cause of the Palestinian people and their ongoing endeavours to regain their inalienable national rights, including the right to return, self-determination and the independence of their State on the Palestinian territory occupied since 1967 with East Jerusalem as its capital, and to achieve a just solution to the question of the Palestine refugees, in accordance with General Assembly resolution 194 (III). The OIC urges the Security Council to give meaning to its deliberations by acting forthwith to implement its resolutions on the Palestine question and contribute to the realization of that just solution and the lasting peace and security we all seek.”

  2. “In the evolving regional dynamics, we share the view that the stalemated peace process diminishes hope for a better future, leads to increased frustration and makes the two-State solution more untenable than ever. At this crucial juncture, the launching of a multilaterally sponsored international peace conference with the participation of all parties concerned, including the international Quartet, would create a strategic political opportunity that must be seized in order to realize a just and comprehensive peace based on a two-State solution that relies on the pre-1967 borders, in accordance with relevant United Nations resolutions and international law and the Arab Peace Initiative.”

  3. “Also with regard to Jerusalem, while we applaud Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’s announcement of parliamentary elections in the Palestinian territories, including East Jerusalem, to be held on 22 May 2021, we urge the international community to put pressure on Israel, the occupying Power, to adhere to international law and signed agreements and enable the Palestinians in occupied East Jerusalem to exercise their right to participate in the upcoming Palestinian legislative elections, by casting their votes, running as electoral candidates and campaigning alongside the rest of the Palestinian people in the occupied Palestinian territory.”

  4. “The OIC appeals to the international community to be vigilant in calling on Israel, the occupying Power, to respect its obligations under international law, including with respect to the freedom of worship, mindful of the imperative to avert the fuelling of a religious conflict that would have dire ramifications.”

  5. “In this regard, the OIC urges the Security Council to uphold its responsibility to ensure Israel’s respect for and scrupulous compliance with Council resolutions related to the occupied city of Jerusalem. The OIC cautions the Council in particular about the urgency of bringing a halt to all provocations and acts of incitement by the Israeli occupying forces and extremist settlers against holy sites in the city, including Al-Aqsa Mosque, and expresses its grave concern about recent aggressions against worshippers and the Waqf at Al-Haram Al-Sharif in this holy month of Ramadan.”

  6. “Through its illegal policy of colonial settlement extension, land confiscation and home demolition, Israel, the occupying Power, continues to illegally establish de facto realities on the ground that pose a direct threat to the integrity and contiguity of the territory of the State of Palestine, as well as to the viability of the two- State solution. Likewise, Israel’s Judaization policy continues to illegally alter the historical, legal and political status and character and identity of the occupied city of Jerusalem and to isolate it from its natural Palestinian environs, in defiance of international law, including the Fourth Geneva Convention, and United Nations resolutions, which affirm that Jerusalem is an integral part of the Palestinian territory occupied by Israel in 1967.”

  7. “This important decision will undoubtedly contribute to mitigating the suffering of the Palestinian people, including Palestine refugees, and represents a constructive motion in support of international efforts needed to alleviate conditions and promote an environment conducive for resolving the Palestinian-Israeli conflict based on international law, the relevant United Nations resolutions, the Arab Peace Initiative and the vision of the two-State solution based on the pre-1967 lines, to which the OIC remains unflaggingly committed.”

  8. “In that vein, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) welcomes the recent decision of the chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court to open a formal investigation into alleged war crimes in the Palestinian territories, which constitutes an appropriate step in the efforts aimed at achieving justice and accountability, which are the indispensable cornerstones for peace and security. I would like to state today that the OIC welcomes the recent announcement by the United States of America that it will reinstate its economic and humanitarian assistance for the Palestinian people and restore its contribution to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East.”

  9. “This quarterly open debate on the situation in the Middle East, including the question of Palestine, bears witness to the international community’s long-standing concern about the serious threat to peace and security in the Middle East region and beyond posed by the ongoing Israeli colonial occupation. Indeed, ongoing violations by Israel, the occupying Power, of the human rights of the Palestinian people and of the principles and rules of international law, including those enshrined in United Nations resolutions, have evoked not only greater world concern, but also, and more importantly, an urgency for pursuing a path of justice that can ensure the fulfilment of rights and set forth conditions for the achievement of lasting peace and stability.”
