Mr. President, Excellencies,<\/p>\n

\/…<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

I am profoundly dismayed by the persistence of serious human rights concerns in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territory<\/strong><\/i>. A permanent and just resolution must be found to this long-standing conflict and occupation, in line with international norms. I note the spike in killings of Palestinians in incidents involving Israeli security forces in the West Bank over the past two months, which raise concern of excessive use of force, and the murderous arson of a Palestinian home in the West Bank village of Duma – sadly not the only act of violence against Palestinian homes in recent months. I am also concerned by an increasingly restrictive atmosphere in Israel, including for those who are critical of Israeli occupation policies and practices, and by legislation that enables financial penalisation of those who advocate for boycotts of Israeli settlements. <\/p><\/div>\n
