The Acting President
I now call on those representatives who have asked to speak in exercise of the right of reply. May I remind delegations that statements in exercise of the right of reply are limited to 10 minutes for the first intervention and to five minutes for the second intervention, and should be made by delegations from their seat.
I now give the floor to the observer of the Observer State of Palestine.
Mr. AlHantouli
I am speaking in reply to the statement made by the representative of the occupying Power, Israel, yesterday (see A/68/PV.66).
What we heard yesterday, including accounts of Israel’s humanitarian activities, changes nothing about the current reality that Israel is the last military occupying authority of our era. It has the longest list of violations of human rights and humanitarian law, includi…
Mr. Nitzan
I am compelled to respond to the Palestinian statement that we have just heard. I must say that I was shocked to hear the Palestinian statement, which conveyed a great deal of hypocrisy and cynicism. The statement was full of lies, aggression and accusations against my Government immediately after Israel joined the consensus adoption of resolution 68/100, on assistance to the Palestinian people.

Mr. Khan
My delegation would like to reply to the false claims and accusations made by the representative of Syria that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia supports terrorism and is undermining its humanitarian role in supporting its brotherly Syrian people.
First, we have provided $50 million in support of Syrian internally displaced persons and, through our national campaign of support to our brothers in Syria…
Ms. Alsaleh
I would like to apologize for requesting the floor in response to the statement in right of reply just made by the representative of the Saudi regime.
Before I begin my right of reply, I would like to put a question to the representative of Saudi Arabia. Is he confident that the funds he has cited have been provided by his Government to support humanitarian efforts for the Syrian people, or were…
Mr. Özkaya
This platform has been abused once again for utter misrepresentations that have already been categorically rejected by Turkey. We
reject once again the baseless accusations expressed by one delegation.
Turkey’s position and contribution to the efforts of the international community in extending a helping hand to the Syrian people is well known. We will continue to stand by the Syrian nation dur…
Mr. AlHantouli
I would like to say that I do not find the reaction of Israel, the occupying State, to be strange. It is the reaction of any criminal who is exposed and scandalized before the world and the international community.
I just want to conclude by reading some verses of poetry by the deceased poet Mahmoud Darwish, in which he speaks of the Israeli occupation.
(spoke in English)
“It is time for you t…
Ms. Alsaleh
I apologize for requesting the floor again, but I wish to reply to the statement just made by the representative of Turkey.
It is quite shameful that the representative of Turkey should express such apparent sympathy for the suffering of the Syrian people given the aggressive, terroristic policies of his country towards Syria. Turkish and international newspapers report on what the Turkish Gover…
Mr. Nitzan
I apologize that I have to take the floor again to reply to the second statement by the Palestinian representative. I wish we had heard something new from the Palestinian representative in his second statement other than empty political words. Telling lies over and over again does not make them true.
All aspects should and will be addressed and negotiated in the context of direct bilateral negot…
The Acting President
The Assembly has thus concluded this stage of its consideration of agenda item 70 and its sub-items (a) to (d) and agenda item 71.
