Ladies and gentlemen,<\/strong><\/p>\n I commend France and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for convening today\u2019s meeting,<\/p>\n and for their tireless efforts as Co-Chairs of the High-level International Conference for the Peaceful Settlement of the Question of Palestine and the Implementation of the Two-State Solution.<\/p>\n The International Conference, to be held in June, is a crucial opportunity that we must seize to chart an irreversible path towards the implementation of the two-State solution.<\/p>\n It is imperative that this conference succeeds.<\/p>\n I thank the co-chairs of the eight round tables for their work.<\/p>\n These round tables will address key topics and lay the foundation for the Conference\u2019s success.<\/p>\n The international community must reaffirm its unwavering commitment to a comprehensive, just, and lasting peace based on international law, the Â鶹APP Charter, and relevant Â鶹APP resolutions.<\/p>\n But we must translate commitment into action.<\/p>\n The outcome of the Conference must therefore be concrete and action-oriented, identifying the steps needed to realise the two-State solution.<\/p>\n Your Excellencies,<\/strong><\/p>\n The horrors we have witnessed in Gaza for over nineteen months should spur us to urgent action to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.<\/p>\n The devastating cycles of death, destruction, and displacement cannot be allowed to continue.<\/p>\n This conflict cannot be resolved through permanent war, nor through endless occupation or annexation.<\/p>\n It will only end when Israelis and Palestinians can live side by side in their own sovereign, independent States, in peace, security, and dignity.<\/p>\n Your Excellencies,<\/strong><\/p>\n It has been seven decades since the General Assembly first called for a two-State solution.<\/p>\n Since then, the Assembly has reaffirmed its unwavering support for this vision through numerous resolutions.<\/p>\n It is now our collective responsibility to act decisively and actually implement these resolutions.<\/p>\n It is now our responsibility to uphold international law, and honour the principles of the Â鶹APP Charter.<\/p>\n We must restore trust in the Â鶹APP, the international community, and in our commitments to the people of Palestine and Israel.<\/p>\n Let us act now to pave the way for a peaceful settlement of this conflict.<\/p>\n One that honours the legitimate aspirations and rights of both Palestinians and Israelis.<\/p>\n One that ensures a better future for everyone in the Middle East.<\/p>\n Thank you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" To learn more about the High-level international conference, please visit the dedicated page. 23 May 2025 Remarks by the
