Mr. Baali
My delegation welcomes the Security Council’s adoption of a resolution on the situation in the Palestinian territory, a resolution that unambiguously condemns the killing that openly occurred in Rafah, where dozens of unarmed civilians, including many children, have
fallen victim to the bullets and the missiles of the Israeli army, which has been caught red-handed in its barbaric acts before the…
Mr. Cunningham
We deeply regret the loss of life among innocent
Palestinian civilians today in Gaza. While we believe that Israel has the right to act to defend itself and its citizens, we do not see that its operations in Gaza in the past few days serve the purposes of peace and security. They have worsened the humanitarian situation and have resulted in confrontations between Israeli forces and Palestinians,…
Mr. Konuzin
The Security Council has just adopted a resolution on the latest developments regarding the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Guided by its fundamental principles, the Russian Federation supported the resolution.
Russia expresses serious concern about the most recent spiral of violence in the confrontation in the Palestinian territories. Israelis and Palestinians, including women and children, conti…
Mr. Duclos
France voted in favour of the resolution just adopted because we believed it essential that the Security Council react swiftly and firmly in the light of the brutal deterioration of the situation in Gaza. It was necessary that the Council make an appeal to reason and restraint, as had already been done by the European Union and by the Secretary-General, whose presence I welcome this afternoon.
F…
Mr. Cheng Jingye
China is opposed to Israel’s large-scale demolition of Palestinian houses, a practice that is in violation of international law. We also condemn the Israeli military actions that have caused heavy civilian casualties in Gaza. Those Israeli actions will only aggravate the already deteriorating situation in the Middle East and will in no way contribute to a resumption of peace talks. China urges Is…
Mr. Motoc
Allow me first to acknowledge and welcome the presence at our meeting of the Secretary-General, Mr. Kofi Annan.
Romania voted in favour of this resolution. Indeed, we share the widespread concern over the continuing deterioration of the situation on the ground in the Gaza Strip, including the large-scale demolition of Palestinian homes and the death of a large number of innocent civilians. That …
Mr. Yañez Barnuevo
The Spanish delegation has also joined in the adoption of Security Council resolution 1544 (2004), which from our point of view represents a swift, united, firm and balanced response by the Council to the very worrisome situation that has been developing in the last few days in Gaza. That situation not only has very grave consequences from the humanitarian standpoint,
but also jeopardizes the en…
The President
I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Pakistan.
Pakistan voted in favour of the resolution, which, in our view, is the minimum necessary response to the Israeli military incursions in Rafah that have left scores of Palestinian civilians dead or fatally injured. Pakistan
condemns these actions. The blatant attack on demonstrators protesting against the mass militar…
Mr. Al-Kidwa
We are pleased to see you, Sir, the representative of the friendly country of Pakistan, presiding over the Security Council this month. Of course, we thank you for all your efforts.
Our thanks also go to Germany, last month’s President of the Council, and its Permanent Representative.
Allow me to join you, Sir, in welcoming the presence of Secretary-General Kofi Annan to this important meeting.…
The President
I thank the Permanent Observer of Palestine for his kind words addressed to me.
The representative of Israel has asked for the floor. I give him the floor.
Mr. Gillerman
At the outset, let me congratulate you, Mr. President, on your able conduct of the work of the Council during the month of May. Let me also commend the stewardship of Ambassador Pleuger during the month of April.
The Council has convened here as usual, at the urgent behest of the Palestinian Observer, under a barrage of information, misinformation and disinformation. In the interests of truth an…
The President
I thank the representative of Israel for his kind words addressed to me.
The Security Council has thus concluded the present stage of its consideration of the item on its agenda.
The meeting rose at 6.40 p.m.
