๐ธ๐พ on behalf of the Arab Group:
โThe Arab Group condemns in the strongest terms the illegal Israeli decisions and measures aimed at imposing unlawful Israeli sovereignty, entrenching settlement activities, and imposing a new legal and administrative reality in the occupied West Bank, in a manner that accelerates attempts at its illegal annexation and the displacement of the Palestinian people. It reaffirms that Israel has no sovereignty over the occupied Palestinian territory.
The Group warns against the continuation of Israelโs expansionist policies and illegal measures in the occupied West Bank, which contribute to fueling violence and conflict in the region.
The Group stresses its absolute rejection of these illegal measures, which constitute a flagrant violation of international law and represent an assault on the inalienable right of the Palestinian people to self-determination and to the independence of their sovereign State on the lines of 4th of June 1967, with occupied Jerusalem as its capital, and which undermine the two-State solution and the ongoing efforts to achieve peace and stability in the region.
The Group affirms that these illegal measures in the occupied West Bank are null and void and constitute a clear violation of United Nations Security Council resolutions, in particular resolution 2334, which condemns all Israeli measures aimed at altering the demographic composition, character, and status of the occupied Palestinian territory since 1967, including East Jerusalem, as well as the advisory opinion issued in 2024 by the International Court of Justice, which concluded that Israelโs policies and practices in the occupied Palestinian territory, and its continued presence therein, constitute a flagrant violation of international law, and affirmed the necessity of ending the unlawful Israeli occupation of the entirety of the occupied Palestinian territory and the nullity of the annexation of any part thereof.
The Group renews its call upon the international community to assume its legal and moral responsibilities, to compel Israel to halt its dangerous escalation in the occupied West Bank, to reverse its unlawful policies and practices, and to cease the inciting statements of its officials.
The Group also expresses its appreciation for the statement issued by the Secretary-General of the United Nations on 9th of February 2026 and commends its content regarding the Israeli measures in the occupied West Bank that undermine the two-State solution, the renewed affirmation of the illegality of settlements and of the Israeli presence in the occupied Palestinian territory, and the call to reverse these measures in pursuit of a lasting peace based on the two-State solution in accordance with international legitimacy resolutions.
The Group stresses that the fulfillment of the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, including their right to self-determination and to the independence of their State in accordance with international legitimacy resolutions and the Arab Peace Initiative, is the only path to achieving a just and comprehensive peace that ensures security and stability in the region.โ @SyriatoUN@IbrahimOlabi
