MAHMOUD ABBAS, President of the\u00a0State of Palestine<\/u>, said his people have been present in their homeland for over 6,000\u00a0years and will remain steadfast there until the fulfillment of their rights.\u00a0 The Israeli occupying Power, with the support of Washington, D.C., wants to substitute international law and Â鶹APP resolutions with the United States \u201cDeal of the Century\u201d and the planned annexation of over 33\u00a0per\u00a0cent of the land of the State of Palestine, in addition to the annexation of occupied East Jerusalem, including Al\u2011Aqsa Mosque and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.\u00a0 The State of Palestine and the international community rejected that deal, he said.<\/p>\n

While the State of Palestine has agreed to all initiatives presented, including the Arab Peace Initiative, Israel violated all the agreements it signed, undermined the two\u2011State solution and sought to alter the character of occupied Jerusalem, he said.\u00a0 Now Israel has announced normalization agreements with both the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, in violation of the Arab Peace Initiative, and in violation of the terms of reference of a comprehensive, lasting and just solution in accordance with international law.\u00a0 He stressed that the Palestine Liberation Organization\u00a0(PLO) had not asked anyone to speak on behalf of the Palestinian people.\u00a0 As such, he called on the Secretary\u2011General, in cooperation with the Quartet and the Security Council, to convene an international conference with the participation of all concerned parties to engage in a genuine peace process leading to an end of the occupation and an independent Palestinian State.<\/p>\n

There will be no peace, security, stability or coexistence in the region while the occupation continues and a just, comprehensive solution to the question of Palestine remains denied, he said.\u00a0 Despite their prolonged suffering, the Palestinian people continue to create vibrant life and hope in the spirit of national unity and democracy and will continue to resist attempts to erase their existence, a right in accordance with international law.<\/p>\n

\/…<\/p>\n

CHARLES MICHEL, President of the European Council,\u00a0European Union<\/u>…expressed the Union\u2019s commitment to a two\u2011State solution between Palestinians and Israelis, clarifying that while it shares ideals, values and mutual affection with the United States, this does not prevent it from having divergent approaches or interests at times.<\/p>\n

\/…<\/p>\n

SABAH KHALED AL-HAMAD AL\u2011SABAH, Prime Minister of\u00a0Kuwait<\/u>, said…Turning to conflict in the region, he said the Palestinian cause remains a central priority for Kuwait and stressed the need to resume talks to establish an independent Palestinian State.<\/p>\n

\/…<\/p>\n

ANT\u00d3NIO COSTA, Prime Minister of\u00a0Portugal<\/u>, said… In the Middle East, he said the two\u2011State solution to the question of Palestine is a necessity…<\/p>\n

\/…<\/p>\n

XAVIER BETTEL, Prime Minister, Minister of State, Minister for Communications and Media and Minister for Religious Affairs of\u00a0Luxembourg<\/u>, said…While welcoming rapprochement between Israel and the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, he said that engagement between the relevant parties is essential to achieve a two-State solution to the Palestinian question.<\/p>\n
