IN MESSAGE TO JEWISH GLOBAL FORUM, UN CHIEF URGES SUPPORT FOR
TWO-STATE SOLUTIONNew York, Jun 3 2013 7:00PMIsrael has a right to
live in peace and security, but needs to halt settlement activity and
take concrete action to end the occupations, Secretary-General Ban
Ki-moon today reiterated, cautioning that the Israeli-Palestinian
conflict is approaching "a point of no return."
"The occupation, now nearing half a century, is not acceptable
morally, politically, strategically – humanly," Mr. Ban told the
American Jewish Committee Global Forum in a video
<"http://www.un.org/sg/statements/index.asp?nid=6868">message.
"I know many of you fully recognize that no interests are truly served
by maintaining the status quo," he added.
In his message, Mr. Ban also reiterated support for "the two-State
solution", referring to the internationally endorsed plan for both
Israel and Palestine to live side by side in peace within secure
borders. The plan is championed by the US Government and Secretary of
State, John Kerry, who addressed the AJC earlier today.
"The United Nations will do all it can to help resume a meaningful
peace process," Mr. Ban said.
Mr. Ban spoke in May separately with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, stressing the need
for the parties to create the conditions conducive to resuming
meaningful negotiations.
He has repeatedly stated that 2013 will be a critical year for the
peace process, and urged both leaders to make a concerted push to
salvage the two-State solution.
Addressing the World Leaders Plenary, Mr. Ban noted that this year's
forum takes place amid crisis across the Middle East stemming from the
Syrian conflict. Since it started in March 2011, the fighting between
the Syrian Government and opposition forces seeking to oust President
Bashar Al-Assad has killed more than 70,000 people, and left 6.8
million people in need. In addition, the UN estimates that some 1.5
million Syrians have fled their country to escape conflict.
"All those providing arms, or thinking of providing arms, must be
mindful that this conflict will note be resolved through military
means," Mr. Ban said. "The current window of diplomatic opportunity is
the best change for a negotiated solution we have had in nearly a
year."
Secretary-General Ban is supporting a diplomatic solution to the
conflict through the Joint Special Representative of the UN and the
League of Arab States on the Syrian crisis, Lakhdar Brahimi.
Mr. Ban also noted that for there has been firing across the Golan
disengagement lines for the first time in decades. UN peacekeepers
have been in the area monitoring the 1974 disengagement accord between
Syria and Israel following their 1973 war.
Dozens of UN peacekeepers in the area have also been seized and safely
released.Jun 3 2013 7:00PM
