UNSC: Annexation of Territory by Israel

[Serenissima]

The Security Council,
Expressing its continuing concern with the grave situation in the Middle East,
Concerned that the State of Israel has declared its formal annexation of the territories of Samaria and Judea,
Noting that this in direct violation of Article 2 of the United Nations Charter, and of the unanimously passed UNSC Resolution 242,
Re-emphasizing the inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by war, and the need to work for a just and lasting peace in which every State in the area can live in security, in accordance with UNSC Resolution 242,
Re-emphasizing further still that all Member States in their acceptance of the Charter of the United Nations have undertaken a commitment to act in accordance with Article 2 of the Charter;

Insists that the State of Israel annul its annexation of the territories occupied in the recent war, in accordance with the provisions of UNSC Resolution 242,
Requires all States to desist from supplying Israel with any military or economic aid as long as it continues to violate Article 2 of the United Nations Charter,
Affirms that all involved parties and States remain fully bound by the provisions of UNSC Resolution 242,
Calls upon all involved States to commence negotiations as soon as possible, under the auspices of the United Nations, to come to a comprehensive peace settlement in accordance with UNSC Resolution 242, Article 1.

Adnan Muzahim Ameen al-Pachachi
Permanent Representative of the Iraqi Republic to the United Nations

Although not a member of the Security Council, the Iraqi Republic would like to take this opportunity to thank the French for their stand against Zionist expansionism, and to condemn in the strongest possible terms this heinously illegal and outrageous annexation of Jordanian territory. We call upon all nations of the world to stand in solidarity against this blatant imperialism, which further flies directly in the face of the Security Council's own resolution on the matter mere months ago.

[Naiami]

The United States votes yes, flagrant disregard for the Security Council and its enacted resolutions cannot be allowed to stand. We remain firmly committed to UNSC Resolution 242 and the principle that all peoples have an inherent right to self-determination.

John Malecela, Permanent Representative to the United Nations
United Republic of Tanzania

Like Iraq, Tanzania is not a member of the Security Council, but would also like to express our utmost concern at the egregious, unilateral, and frankly reprehensible violations of international law committed by the Israeli state. We applaud France and the United States -and, one hopes, the rest of the UNSC- in taking a stand against such outright aggression, convey our solidarity with the Palestinian people presently living under occupied rule despite the pledges of the international community to defend them, and urge the Israelis in no uncertain terms to return to following the United Nations Charter, for the sake of the integrity of a Jewish homeland and those wronged by their current actions.

The Republic of China votes yes on this resolution.


The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland


The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland is extremely concerned by Israeli actions. We believe their expansion is hurting any chance for a peaceful resolution to be found for the territorial crisis in the Middle East. We vote yes.
