UN General Assembly
2023

We are gravely concerned by the escalation of violence and the resumption of hostilities in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. We are appalled by Israel’s continued illegal construction and expansion of settlements. The resumption of hostilities and continued settlement activity jeopardizes the viability of the two- State solution. In the face of rising despair, growing uncertainty and the absence of a political horizon, we must act. The initiative to revitalize the Arab Peace Initiative, led jointly by Saudi Arabia. Egypt and Jordan, the League of Arab States and the European Union, deserves our full support. We have said this several times from this rostrum, and we will repeat it again today — we are a peace-loving nation, and we remain fully committed to completing the process of normalization with Eritrea and finding a lasting and peaceful settlement to the border dispute that continues to oppose us. as well as the other outstanding issues.
