40.\t\t<\/span>Mr. Zohar<\/strong> (Israel), speaking in exercise of the right of reply, said he regretted that the Papua New Guinea delegation had included Palestine among the territories currently being examined by the Committee. The question of Palestine was not a colonial question. It concerned a territorial dispute between two neighbouring countries which had been the subject of detailed studies carried out as part of the Madrid conference and Oslo Accords in order to enable the parties to reach a peaceful solution that would take into account all aspects of the problem. In the course of the current week, Israeli and Palestinian delegations would meet near Washington under the aegis of the United States with a view to strengthening relations between the two countries as part of the peace process, and his delegation hoped that the meeting would bear fruit. The Palestinian population of the whole of the Gaza Strip and of 98 per cent of the West Bank was governed by the Palestinian Authority and its democratically elected president, Mr. Yasser Arafat. Palestinians had their own flag, their own executive power, separate judicial and legislative bodies and a separate armed police force. Israel could not be held responsible for their future, since they were neither its subjects, nor its enemies, but simply its neighbours. His delegation therefore considered that the question of Palestine, already considered by other United Nations bodies, should not be raised in the Committee. It urged all delegations to support the current peace process.<\/p><\/div>\n
