State of Palestine Stresses, as Israel Highlights Agreements with Arab States<\/h4>\n<p>Warning that COVID-19 \u201cfeeds off instability\u201d, the Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process told the Security Council today that intensified international facilitation to relaunch Israeli-Palestinian negotiations must urgently build upon recent efforts at rapprochement in the region.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe pandemic has heightened the urgency of exploring all avenues to make progress towards resolving the conflict,\u201d Special Coordinator Nickolay Mladenov told Council members, delivering his monthly briefing by video teleconference. \u00a0\u201cI sincerely hope that new avenues of cooperation to advance Israeli-Palestinian peace will emerge.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Citing the recent normalization agreements between Israel and three Arab States, he noted calls for an international peace conference, and said broad regional and international consensus continues to affirm the international commitment to a two-State solution, in accordance with United Nations resolutions and international law. \u00a0What is now required, he added, is leadership from both Israelis and Palestinians in working together and advancing the cause of peace.<\/p>\n<p>However, the Palestinian Authority\u2019s decision to end security and economic coordination with Israel has further exacerbated the resurgent pandemic threat, which has resulted in tightened restrictions, he pointed out.\u00a0 Expressing particular concern over the spread of COVID-19 in the Gaza Strip and the long-term damage to the Palestinian economy, education and social cohesion, he said the United Nations and its humanitarian partners have continued efforts to address the pandemic with assistance from the donor community, including by addressing critical gaps in medical supplies across the Occupied Palestinian Territory. \u00a0The Organization has brokered arrangements to allow the transfer of patients from Gaza outside the enclave, he added, warning, however, that the United Nations cannot take over the responsibilities of the parties, emphasizing that its additional tasks should be \u201climited and time-bound\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Stressing the readiness of the United Nations to mediate solutions to the fiscal crisis and to get the Palestinian economy on better footing, he appealed for the resumption of coordination with Israel and for the facilitation of freer movement of Palestinian workers and goods once health conditions permit. \u00a0The international community, he added, should accelerate humanitarian and development initiatives, he added.<\/p>\n<p>He went on to express great concern over Israel\u2019s resumption of major settlement during the reporting period, noting that it announced some 5,000\u00a0housing units in October, most in areas impeding the contiguity of a future Palestinian State. \u00a0Such activity is contrary to international law and previous agreements, he reiterated.\u00a0 He reported that 82\u00a0Palestinians were displaced by the seizure and demolition of structures for lacking hard-to-obtain building permits, adding that a donor-funded school in a Bedouin community was threatened for the same reason. \u00a0Calling upon Israel to cease such activity immediately, and to allow Palestinians to develop their communities, he also urged that country to facilitate the return of international staff members to the territories. \u00a0There was no response to requests for visas from the Human Rights Office following a report of the Human Rights Council on business activities in the settlements, he noted.<\/p>\n<p>Welcoming the understandings reached between Fatah and Hamas in September, he underlined the importance of holding long-delayed Palestinian elections, reiterating that the United Nations stands ready to support efforts to afford the Palestinian people their democratic rights.\u00a0 He went on to note that the Gaza understanding largely held during the reporting period.\u00a0 However, Israel took action after discovering Palestinians crossing with a bomb and a tunnel from Gaza, he added.\u00a0 Five rockets were fired from Gaza towards Israel and Israel fired a total of 13\u00a0missiles in retaliation.<\/p>\n<p>In the West Bank, two Palestinians, including a child, were killed and some 65\u00a0injured in clashes and other incidents, he continued. \u00a0Seven Israelis, including two soldiers and one woman were injured.\u00a0 Reporting some 34\u00a0attacks by settlers against Palestinians, he underlined the need for Israel to ensure access and protection to farmers during the olive harvest.\u00a0 He went on to express deep concern over the health of a Palestinian prisoner on hunger strike, reiterating the need for all detainees to be promptly tried in court or released.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding the diplomatic activity leading up to the normalization of relations between Israel on the one hand and United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Sudan on the other, he expressed concern over statements by senior Palestinian officials to the effect that Muslims entering the Aqsa Mosque on the basis of the recent agreements face dangerous consequences. \u00a0The United Nations rejects any politicization or incitement that involves the holy compound, he stressed.<\/p>\n<p>Turning to Lebanon, he highlighted the designation of former prime minister Saad Hariri to form a Government and the holding of new talks on the Israel\u2011Lebanon maritime boundary. \u00a0Reporting that the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon\u00a0(UNIFIL) has deployed an engineering unit to assist with reconstruction following the August explosion in the port of Beirut.\u00a0 The situation in UNIFIL\u2019s area of operation remained generally stable, he added.<\/p>\n<p>He went on to report that Golan, too, remained generally calm, despite continued violations of the Disengagement of Forces Agreement, adding that the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF) continues to remind the parties of their obligations.<\/p>\n<p>The Council the heard from speakers representing the Observer State of Palestine and Israel, as well as representatives of Security Council members.\u00a0 Written statements by other delegations were added to the written record of the meeting.<u><\/u><\/p>\n<p>Riad Malki, Minister for Foreign Affairs of the\u00a0<u>State of Palestine<\/u>, declared: \u00a0\u201cIt is time to drop the old talking points,\u201d emphasizing that it is preposterous to think that Israel\u2019s right to security can justify its occupation and oppression of an entire nation for decades, or to claim that Palestinians refuse to negotiate when it is Israel that illegally pre-empts peace talks \u201con the ground every single day\u201d.\u00a0 Recalling that the parties identified final-status issues that should be negotiated on the basis of internationally agreed terms of reference and parameters, he said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu maintains that Jerusalem must be Israeli, settlements must remain in place, refugees shall remain refugees and Israel will control Palestine\u2019s borders. \u00a0\u201cIsrael does not want to end its illegal occupation; it wants to make it permanent,\u201d he stressed, rejecting attempts to label Palestinians the intransigent party.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe cannot allow Israeli unilateralism to prevail while the world continues calling for bilateral negotiations,\u201d he continued, underlining that it is no longer enough to say settlements are illegal, one must ensure accountability, distinction and non-assistance.\u00a0 It is no longer enough to speak of a two-State solution, it must be accompanied by recognition of the State of Palestine and support for its sovereignty over the territory occupied since\u00a01967, including East Jerusalem, he said. \u00a0Palestine has not adopted a disruptive posture, nor contributed to transforming the political conflict into a religious one, he pointed out. \u00a0President Mahmoud Abbas continues to push for a peace process, in cooperation with the Middle East Quartet (United Nations, European Union, United States, Russian Federation) and in line with Security Council resolutions, he added.<\/p>\n<p>He went on to point out that, while Israel decided \u2014 only under pressure \u2014 to freeze its annexation plans for areas beyond occupied East Jerusalem, it has not renounced its decades-long policy aiming to \u201ccontrol maximum Palestinian land with minimum Palestinians\u201d.\u00a0 Its de\u2011facto annexation continues with the recent advancement of 5,000\u00a0settlement units deep into the West Bank, including in and around occupied East Jerusalem, he said, warning:\u00a0 \u201cThe international community must act to salvage peace, or we will all bear the consequences.\u00a0 As long as Israel continues to reap the benefits of occupation it will never negotiate in good faith, he added. \u00a0The international peace conference proposed by President Abbas can help generate the necessary momentum and mobilize the international community to help the parties negotiate a peace agreement, he said, emphasizing: \u00a0\u201cAnything else is volatile, and it is futile.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The representative of\u00a0<u>Israel<\/u>\u00a0said that, in the short period since he assumed his new role as Permanent Representative, he has found that the Security Council\u2019s focus does not reflect the reality on the ground, and that it holds an institutional bias against Israel.\u00a0 He added that he has been told the Council is \u201ca lost cause\u201d.\u00a0 Noting that the Council routinely held more than 100\u00a0debates on the question of Palestine over the past 20\u00a0years, including today\u2019s, he emphasized that there have been more important developments in the Middle East.\u00a0 He asked why the Council is not discussing the historic momentum created by the normalization of relations between Israel and three Arab States, which offers an opportunity for peace and stability in the region.\u00a0 The agreements were discussed only in an informal meeting.\u00a0 For instance, Sudan\u2019s position shifted from \u201cno\u201d to peace with Israel, recognition of Israel as a Jewish State, and negotiations with Israel, to \u201cyes\u201d to all three, he pointed out, saying he looks forward to hearing the views of Council members views on that historic \u201cparadigm shift\u201d and the new opportunity to enhance cooperation in the Middle East.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of viewing the agreements as an opportunity, the Palestinian Authority attacked the decisions of their fellow Arab States, thereby \u201cstabbing their backs\u201d, he continued.\u00a0 The Council is putting pressure on the wrong side, he said, adding that Abbas has refused Israel\u2019s offer to hold direct dialogue, and that it is still awaiting his reply to the offer, made in\u00a02008.\u00a0 As for Abbas\u2019 call for an international conference, such a meeting does not solve any issues, which can only be resolved through bilateral talks, he said, stressing that his delegation supports the Middle East peace plan put forward by the United States. \u00a0Washington, D.C.\u2019s, vision is a good, realistic starting point, he added.\u00a0 The Council should also be discussing Iran\u2019s destabilizing behaviour, nuclear capabilities, and human rights violations, he said, stressing that it should also designate Hizbullah as a terrorist organization.\u00a0 Iran\u2019s pursuit of Shi\u2019a hegemony should be at the top of the Council\u2019s Middle East agenda, he added.\u00a0 He went on to underline his commitment to proving wrong the critics who insist the Council is a lost cause.<\/p>\n<p>The representative of the\u00a0<u>Russian Federation<\/u>, Council President for October, speaking in his national capacity and delivering a statement on behalf of his country\u2019s Foreign Minister, noted that the unresolved Israeli-Palestinian conflict continues to undermine stability in the region and the world, while Palestinians continue to suffer and terrorism remains a threat.\u00a0 Israel\u2019s annexation plans exacerbated the situation, he said, emphasizing that the need for a just and lasting settlement should not be shunted aside as other issues arise.\u00a0 Negotiations must begin without delay, taking into account all previous agreements, the two-State principles and final-status issues, he said, stressing that all unilateral actions, including settlement expansion and the destruction of structures, must be halted for that reason.\u00a0 Underlining that Palestinian unity is needed now more than ever, he pledged his country\u2019s continuing dedication to facilitating a relaunch of Middle East peace talks. \u00a0The Russian Federation reaffirms its offer to hold an international meeting in Moscow, he said.<\/p>\n<p>The representative of\u00a0<u>Viet Nam<\/u>, expressing deep concern over the humanitarian situation in Gaza and other Palestinian areas in the context of COVID-19 and the fiscal crisis, called upon the international community to direct support through all channels in an effective, people-centred manner.\u00a0 Alarmed by continued violence in the West Bank and Gaza, he called upon all parties to exercise restraint and protect innocent civilians.\u00a0 Negotiations are needed without delay, both among the Palestinians and between them and Israel, to achieve a two-State peace, he said, emphasizing that the status quo is unacceptable.\u00a0 An international peace conference should be considered to help move progress forward in accordance with international law and previous agreements, he added.<\/p>\n<p>Othman Jerandi, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs of\u00a0<u>Tunisia<\/u>, emphasized his delegation\u2019s support for the Palestinian cause and called for intensified international efforts to help Palestinians realize their legitimate rights, including a sovereign Palestinian State with East Jerusalem as its capital.\u00a0 He went on to reject Israel\u2019s recent escalation and its violation of Council resolutions \u2014 including most recently resolution\u00a02334\u00a0(2016).\u00a0 \u201cToday, we find ourselves before a real opportunity to make progress,\u201d he said, referring to the international peace conference proposed by President Abbas.\u00a0 Tunisia supports such an effort, which is in line with the goal of a two-State solution, he emphasized, calling for greater international efforts to compel Israel to end its occupation.\u00a0 He went on to stress that any Israeli annexation plan \u201cneeds to be rejected once and for all\u201d, pointing out that the long-standing occupation of Gaza is particularly inhumane in the context of COVID-19.\u00a0 The Council should bolster its support for the Palestinian authorities in responding to the pandemic, he added.<\/p>\n<p>The representative of the\u00a0<u>United States<\/u>\u00a0predicted that today\u2019s meeting will be filled with the same unproductive rhetoric as many before it.\u00a0 Spotlighting the new impetus created by the recently signed Abraham Accords, she said that success shows what is possible \u201cwhen leaders make courageous and bold decisions\u201d.\u00a0 Just days ago, yet another peace agreement was announced between Sudan and Israel, she recalled, noting:\u00a0 \u201cThe conversation in the region in changing.\u201d \u00a0President Donald J. Trump\u2019s willingness to approach matters differently has led to creative, bold and fresh thinking, she said, describing her country\u2019s new vision for peace as thoughtful and realistic, unlike many past efforts.\u00a0 Washington, D.C., has encouraged the Palestinians to bring their perspectives to the negotiating table, she said, cautioning that simply rejecting the talks out of hand \u2014 or holding conferences aimed at airing the same old points \u2014 does nothing to advance peace.\u00a0 World leaders cannot keep doing what they have been doing for years and expect things to change, she stressed, calling upon Israel\u2019s neighbours, and Council members, to embrace the current positive momentum and move forward towards peace.<\/p>\n<p>The representative of\u00a0<u>China<\/u>, describing the Palestine question as a root cause of instability in the Middle East, called for close attention to the escalation of violence in Gaza, new settlement construction and the deteriorating humanitarian conditions in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. \u00a0It is imperative that both sides stick to the two-State formula, he emphasized, pointing out that what is lacking is not agreements or frameworks, but the courage to deliver on promises.\u00a0 Countries with influence should be objective and fair to advance peace in the Middle East, he said, stressing that no one should impose a solution, and that Beijing supports President Abbas\u2019 call for an international conference.\u00a0 He went on to state that the international community should support the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East\u00a0(UNRWA) and stop using funding cuts to exert pressure.<\/p>\n<p>The representative of\u00a0<u>Saint Vincent and the Grenadines<\/u>\u00a0said the international community must reaffirm its collective support for a two-State solution based on the pre-1967 borders and spare no effort to achieve a viable solution to the conflict. \u00a0Welcoming President Abbas\u2019 call for an international conference in early\u00a02021, she said the time has come for the international community to meet its collective responsibility under international law to end the occupation of the Palestinian State. \u00a0It is time to fully end the occupation that began in\u00a01967 and resolve all final-status issues on the basis of Security Council resolutions\u00a0242\u00a0(1967), 338\u00a0(1973), and as reaffirmed in subsequent resolutions, she emphasized.<\/p>\n<p>The representative of the\u00a0<u>United Kingdom<\/u>, welcoming the rapprochement between Israel and the United Emirates, Bahrain and Sudan, stressed that the shift in the region must be accompanied by progress towards a negotiated peace between Israelis and Palestinians.\u00a0 To rebuild trust, actions such as settlement\u2011construction and housing demolition must stop, he said, calling, in particular, for Israel to stop threats against the internationally funded Bedouin school.\u00a0 He went on to express great concern over settler violence and rocket launches, emphasizing:\u00a0 \u201cThese negative actions must stop.\u201d\u00a0 The United Kingdom remains dedicated to supporting a two-State solution based on the pre-1967 lines, he said, stressing that resuming dialogue is the only way to reach that solution.<\/p>\n<p>The representative of\u00a0<u>Germany<\/u>\u00a0also welcomed the normalization between Israel and countries in the region, emphasizing the need to build on that development to advance progress towards a just and lasting solution in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict based on international law and previously agreed parameters.\u00a0 The situation must be comprehensively resolved and not just managed, he stressed.\u00a0 Condemning rocket attacks and hate speech against Israelis, he expressed regret that the country\u2019s representative did not discuss planned settlement\u2011expansion during his presentation. \u00a0He called for a complete cessation of settlement activity, destruction of Palestinian housing and plans for the unilateral annexation of their territory.\u00a0 Welcoming talks on Palestinian elections, he called upon Israel to facilitate them, while applauding its treatment of Palestinian leaders.\u00a0 The attitude of the Hadassah hospital in treating all patients equally, no matter what side they come from, should be a model for the region, he said.<\/p>\n<p>The representative of the\u00a0<u>Dominican Republic<\/u>\u00a0said COVID-19 has different undertones in places that have suffered from prolonged war and conflict, such as Syria, Yemen and Gaza.\u00a0 Expressing her delegation\u2019s support for Israel\u2019s recent normalization agreements respectively with the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Sudan, she said that positive change could increase stability in the region.\u00a0 The Dominican Republic supports the proposal to hold an international peace conference, which requires, as its starting point, mutual respect, respect for international law and face-to-face participation by both Israel and Palestine, she said.\u00a0 Welcoming UNRWA\u2019s efforts to meet the needs of millions of refugees, she called upon donors to bolster their contributions to the Agency\u2019s work.<\/p>\n<p>The representative of\u00a0<u>Niger<\/u>, while expressing hope in the recent normalization of relations between Israel and some of its neighbours, deplored Israel\u2019s decision to continue its expansion of settlements in the West Bank, warning such actions risk further stalling the peace process.\u00a0 The parties should work to negotiate a two-State solution, he said, urging the international community to spare no effort to ensure such a rapprochement.\u00a0 Welcoming the restraint demonstrated by the Palestinians and their call for a peace conference, he urged the parties to embrace opportunities to advance negotiations.\u00a0 He went on to underline that COVID-19 has poses particular challenges in Gaza, given the long-standing blockade, and called upon Israel, the occupying Power, to shoulder its legal responsibility to protect the Palestinian people amid the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>The representative of\u00a0<u>Belgium<\/u>, noting that Israel\u2019s new settlement\u2011construction violates international law and Security Council resolutions, urged that country to reverse its decision.\u00a0 She also expressed grave concern that Palestinians are displaced due to the demolition of their homes and structures, pointing out that avoiding forced displacement is Israel\u2019s obligation as the occupying Power.\u00a0 She also called for an end to the continuing de\u2011facto annexation of Palestinian territory.\u00a0 On intra-Palestinian reconciliation, she urged the two rival factions to form a single legitimate authority through elections.\u00a0 She went on to welcome the normalization of relations between Israel and Sudan, expressing hope that the new dynamic contributes towards a two-State solution.\u00a0 She urged Israel to issue visas to personnel of the United Nations human rights office.<\/p>\n<p>The representative of\u00a0<u>Indonesia<\/u>\u00a0said it is regrettable that Israel has committed another act of bad faith. \u00a0As learned recently, on 14\u00a0and 15\u00a0October, authorities approved the construction of another 5,000\u00a0settlement units in the Occupied Palestine Territory. \u00a0Describing that development as neither surprising nor new, he said the \u201ccreeping annexation\u201d is testament that Israel\u2019s annexation plan is alive and well.\u00a0 He echoed President Abbas\u2019 call for the Secretary-General to convene an international conference, as a multilateral approach to the peace process, involving the Quartet and all relevant parties. \u00a0The question of Palestine is longing for a just solution, he said, underlining that the Security Council has a solemn duty to resolve that question.<\/p>\n<p>The representative of\u00a0<u>France<\/u>\u00a0said that the parameters of an Israeli\u2011Palestinian solution are known in the form of a two-State solution based on previous agreements.\u00a0 The Security Council credibility is at stake depending on its ability to help realize that solution, she emphasized.\u00a0 Welcoming the normalization of diplomatic ties in the region and the suspension of Israel\u2019s annexation plans, she condemned, on the other hand, the planning for major settlement\u2011expansion and the demolition of Palestinian structures.\u00a0 Calling for the creation of a climate suitable resuming talks, she pledged that her country will continue to work towards that end with other partners who participated in the Amman meeting of 24\u00a0September.\u00a0 Inviting further consideration of an international peace conference, she also called for the holding of intra-Palestinian elections without delay, and pledged her country\u2019s assistance in that effort, as well.\u00a0 She called, in addition, for adequate funding of UNWRA, and for Council members to fulfil their obligation to work together to relaunch the stalled Middle East political process.<\/p>\n<p>The representative of\u00a0<u>Estonia<\/u>\u00a0called on regional actors to embrace the spirit of compromise demonstrated in the recent historic peace agreements signed by Israel and some of its neighbours.\u00a0 Both sides should now commit to re-engaging on final status issues in pursuit of a just and lasting peace.\u00a0 Welcoming the agreement reached between Palestinian factions on the holding of elections as a positive signal, he called for the announcement of an election date.\u00a0 He went on to urge all parties to refrain from any unilateral steps that could hamper the viability of a two-State solution, including Israel\u2019s ongoing expansion of settlements in the West Bank, as well as incitement and the firing of rockets by Palestinians into Israel, none of which are acceptable.<\/p>\n<p>The representative of\u00a0<u>South Africa<\/u> said Israel\u2019s acceleration of settlement expansions contradicts its new bilateral agreements, which include the suspension of annexation plans.\u00a0 \u201c[The expansion] calls into question the benefits of these agreements for peace, as they have not eased the occupation,\u201d he said, describing the new peace agreements as \u201costensibly transactional\u201d, having done nothing to improve the lives of Palestinians.\u00a0 Reiterating that Israel\u2019s inhumane and illegal military occupation only serves to undermine the prospects for peace, he asked why the Council handles resolutions on certain issues \u2014 including Palestine and the question of Western Sahara \u2014 differently from others.\u00a0 If any other item on its agenda saw an actor violate international law as Israel does, \u201cwe would not have hesitated to take action\u201d, he pointed out, emphasizing that such double standards, in a body whose responsibility is to maintain international peace and security, is
