The President
I should like to inform members that action on draft resolutions A/55/L.35, A/55/L.36 and A/55/L.38 will be taken at a later date, and that further draft resolutions on this item will be submitted also at a later date. I shall now call on those representatives who wish to speak in exercise of the right of reply.
Mr. Shacham (Israel)

Mr. Jilani (State of Palestine)
I shall be brief. I simply wanted to repeat that the most atrocious forms of violence and terrorism are the occupation by force of the territory of others and the imposition of military occupation on an entire people. The territories to which the representative of Israel referred are not the subject of dispute; they are occupied territories. Israel is the only State Member of the United Nations t…
The President
I would like to inform members of some additions to the programme of work of the General Assembly. On Wednesday morning, 29 November 2000, in addition to agenda item 38, “Zone of peace and cooperation of the South Atlantic”, the General Assembly will also take up sub-item (i) of agenda item 17, “Appointment of the members of the Consultative Committee on the United Nations Development Fund for …
