"Mr President, as pleased as we are about the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and the Middle East, we are all aware that this region is a graveyard for ceasefires and therefore also for people. There is therefore an urgent need to work towards a durable and peaceful solution for the region at last. That must be based on recognition of Israel’s right to exist and its security interests, which must continue to be safeguarded and defended without any reductions, and of the rights of the Palestinians to form their own state. In other words, what is needed is a two-state solution.
Although this issue is dealt with very well in paragraph 3 and the resolution itself is very good overall, I voted against paragraph 5. I am in favour of Palestine being integrated progressively into UN structures, but sadly, we have a long way to go before that can happen. I believe that this was quite the wrong signal to send out just as the Hamas-controlled areas launched thousands of rockets over Israel. What we want is a peace settlement first. Palestine’s integration into UN structures can take place after that."@en1
