“We would like to reaffirm our constant and unequivocal position in line with international law and relevant Security Council resolutions that Israeli settlement activities are illegal, erode the viability of the two-state solution and undermine the prospect for a just lasting and comprehensive peace as reaffirmed by UN Security Council resolution 2334. We call on Israel to end all settlement activity in line with its obligations as an occupying power. We also reiterate our concern about the calls for a possible annexation of areas in the West Bank. We will continue to support the resumption of a meaningful process towards a negotiated two-state solution, the only realistic and viable way to fulfil the legitimate aspirations of both parties.”

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Riyad Mansour, Permanent Observer of Palestine to the United Nations:
“The nonsense of one delegation inside the Chamber, saying that you, the international community, if you abide by international law, you help the Palestinian not to come to negotiations. If we abandon international law, including Security Council resolutions, it will be the law of the jungle. The United Nations was created so that there is international law that regulates our relations and how we resolve disputes. If we do away with it, then it is the might of the powerful over the weak, and that will be the rule of the jungle; the situation that existed even before the League of Nations. That concept has been rejected by the 14 Members of the Security Council, and even the United States of America is wobbling on this issue.”

STORYLINE:
In a statement on behalf of the ten elected members of the Security Council, German ambassador Jürgen Schulz reaffirmed the group’s “constant and unequivocal position” that Israeli settlement activities are “illegal, erode the viability of the two-state solution and undermine the prospect for a just lasting and comprehensive peace.”
Speaking to reporters today (20 Nov) following a meeting on the situation in the Middle East, Schulz said the position of the ten members was in line with international law and relevant Security Council resolutions, and reaffirmed by resolution 2334.
The ten nations called on Israel “to end all settlement activity in line with its obligations as an occupying power” and reiterated their concern about “the calls for a possible annexation of areas in the West Bank.” Schulz said the group would continue to support the resumption of a meaningful process towards a negotiated two-state solution, “the only realistic and viable way to fulfil the legitimate aspirations of both parties.”
The ten elected Members of the Security Council are Belgium, Côte d’Ivoire, the Dominican Republic, Equatorial Guinea, Germany, Indonesia, Kuwait, Peru, Poland, and South Africa.
Palestinian ambassador Riyad Mansour said it was the obligation of every UN member state to honour and respect Security Council resolutions, including resolution 2334. He noted that Security Council resolutions are binding and are a part of international law.
The Palestinian ambassador said, “The nonsense of one delegation inside the Chamber, saying that you, the international community, if you abide by international law, you help the Palestinian not to come to negotiations. If we abandon international law, including Security Council resolutions, it will be the law of the jungle. The United Nations was created so that there is international law that regulates our relations and how we resolve disputes. If we do away with it, then it is the might of the powerful over the weak, and that will be the rule of the jungle; the situation that existed even before the League of Nations. That concept has been rejected by the 14 Members of the Security Council, and even the United States of America is wobbling on this issue.”
Mansour stressed that there was no solution to the Question of Palestine except the end of the occupation and the independence of the State of Palestine on the basis of the parameters of the two-state solution.
