NEW YORK: The Minister of Foreign Affairs, H E Dr Khalid bin Mohammad Al Attiyah, called to speed up the process of taking steps to impose a just solution to the Palestinian issue under the United Nations resolutions and moving forward stalemate in the peace process.
Dr. Al Attiyah said in his statement before the United Nations Security Council Open Debate on " The Situation in the Middle East, including the Palestine Question" that this generation of young insurgent Palestinians exposed to field executions, was born with no just solution on the horizon to their cause.
He called for a just and lasting solution based on withdrawal to the 1967 border and the two-state solution.
He said the UN Council met to discuss the volatile situation caused by the dangerous escalation of the Israeli occupation authorities against Palestinian civilians, resulting from IOA 's policy, illegal settlements, suppression and discrimination against the Palestinian people, depriving them of fundamental rights and freedoms as well as sovereignty over their natural resources while becoming particularly vulnerable to attacks by Isreali extremists without any accountability.
Dr Al Attiyah stressed that the Palestinian Cause is important to the region and the world, and is a priority for the Arab nations, saying that it unifies democratic forces in the whole world as long as the international community is not ready to impose a just solution.
He noted that the Palestinian people's fate is determined by the occupier and the reality of Palestinian life under occupation; and therefore the negotiations lost value because they are conducted without any aims or agreed foundations, referring to Israel's occupation of Jerusalem and the Golan Heights and the ruinous blockade on the Gaza Strip and wondering if the Israeli scheme of temporal division of Al-Aqsa Mosque will lead later to a spatial division.
