The situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian question - Security Council, 8950th Meeting, 19 January 2022

ARRMANATHA C. NASIR, Vice-Chair of the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People, called on Israel to respect its obligations under international humanitarian law and international human rights law, and cease the demolition and seizure of Palestinian property throughout the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem. On Gaza, he said the Strip remains an integral part of the Palestinian territory occupied since 1967 and must be part of an independent, sovereign Palestinian State. Turning to Israel’s decision of 22 October designating six human rights and humanitarian Palestinian civil society organizations as “terrorist entities”, he said some of these organizations are long-standing, reliable partners of the Committee in advocating for the protection and promotion of the human rights of the Palestinian people. On 7 December, the Committee organized an event, in which representatives from Palestinian and Israeli civil society called on Member States to hold Israel accountable for its actions. To date, the Israeli authorities have not made public substantial evidence against these six Palestinian organizations. The Committee hopes that a ministerial meeting of the Middle East Quartet will soon relaunch the peace process. The current course must be diverted and redressed without delay to end the Israeli occupation and implement a two-State solution, he said.
