2. Various shots, Security Council
3. SOUNDBITE (English) Tor Wennesland, Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process:
“As a new year begins, a dangerous cycle of violence persists on the ground, amidst increased political tension and a stalled peace process. The violent trends that dominated the last months of 2022 continue to take a devastating human toll. The violence must stop.”
4. Wide shot, delegates
5. SOUNDBITE (English) Tor Wennesland, Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process:
“I reiterate that perpetrators of all acts of violence must be held accountable and swiftly brought to justice. Security forces must exercise maximum restraint and use lethal force only when strictly unavoidable in order to protect life. I am particularly appalled that children continue to be the victims of violence. Children must never be the targets of violence or put in harm’s way.”

7. SOUNDBITE (English) Tor Wennesland, Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process:
“Also on 8 January, Israel’s National Security Minister issued a directive to the Israeli police to increase enforcement of the removal of Palestinian flags from public spaces in Israel and occupied East Jerusalem. On 16 January, a statement was issued with 39 Member States as signatories, reconfirming support for the ICJ, international law and multilateralism and noting deep concern regarding the Israeli Government’s decision to impose punitive measures following the request by the General Assembly to the ICJ for an advisory opinion.”
8. Wide shot, Security Council
9. SOUNDBITE (English) Tor Wennesland, Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process:
“Absent a concerted and collective effort by all, with strong support from the international community, spoilers and extremists will continue to pour more fuel on the fire and we will move still further from a peaceful resolution of the conflict. The United Nations remains committed to supporting an end to the occupation and establishing a two-State solution, with an independent and sovereign Palestinian State based on the 1967 lines, with Jerusalem as the capital of both States in line with UN resolutions, international law and bilateral agreements.”

SOUNDBITE (English) Riyad Mansour, Permanent Observer to the United Nations, Palestine:
“Israeli Representatives live in a parallel dimension where the entire world is wrong and they are right. They have called these United Nations morally bankrupt. They have blasted countries that voted for resolutions relating to Palestine from their closest allies to their proclaimed enemies without distinction.”
11. Med shot, Security Council
12. SOUNDBITE (English) Gilad Erdan, Israel's Permanent Representative to the United Nations:
“In a year that the war rages in Europe, Iran is murdering and executing protesters and on the verge of becoming a nuclear power, North Korea has launched a record number of missiles and rogue regimes and terror groups continue to wreak havoc. This institution so fit to adopt 15 condemnatory resolutions, singling out Israel. Do you know how many condemnatory resolutions were adopted against the rest of the world combined? Thirteen.”

STORYLINE:
Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, Tor Wennesland, told the Security Council that “a dangerous cycle of violence persists on the ground, amidst increased political tension and a stalled peace process.”
Briefing the Council today (18 Jan) in New York, the Special Coordinator noted, “I reiterate that perpetrators of all acts of violence must be held accountable and swiftly brought to justice. Security forces must exercise maximum restraint and use lethal force only when strictly unavoidable in order to protect life. I am particularly appalled that children continue to be the victims of violence. Children must never be the targets of violence or put in harm’s way.”
According to Wennesland, between 8 December and 13 January, 14 Palestinians, including five children, were killed and 117 Palestinians, including three women and 18 children, were injured by Israeli security forces during demonstrations, clashes, search-and-arrest operations, attacks and alleged attacks against Israelis, and other incidents.
Wennesland also noted, “On 8 January, Israel’s National Security Minister issued a directive to the Israeli police to increase enforcement of the removal of Palestinian flags from public spaces in Israel and occupied East Jerusalem. On 16 January, a statement was issued with 39 Member States as signatories, reconfirming support for the ICJ, international law and multilateralism and noting deep concern regarding the Israeli Government’s decision to impose punitive measures following the request by the General Assembly to the ICJ for an advisory opinion.”
