Concerned by Apparent Spike in Israeli-Palestinian Violence, Secretary-General
\nUnderscores Quartet’s Finding on Need to Reverse Negative Trends<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

The Secretary-General is pleased that, in collaboration with his counterparts from the Russian Federation, the United States and the European Union, the Quartet has today released its <\/span>report<\/a> highlighting the major threats to the two-state solution and providing recommendations on how to preserve and advance this goal.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

He underscores the report’s finding that there is a strong need for affirmative steps to reverse negative trends on the ground. These trends risk entrenching a one-state reality of perpetual occupation and conflict which is incompatible with realising the national aspirations of both peoples.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

The Secretary-General reiterates the Quartet’s pledge to actively support an end to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict on the basis of United Nations Security Council resolutions <\/span>242<\/a> (1967) and <\/span>338<\/a> (1973).  He also reiterates that a negotiated two-state outcome that meets Israeli security needs and creates a sovereign Palestinian state, ends the occupation that began in 1967, and resolves all permanent status issues is the only way to achieve an enduring peace.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

He strongly encourages the parties to engage with the Quartet on implementing the report recommendations so as to rebuild hope among Palestinians and Israelis in a political solution and to create the conditions to return to meaningful negotiations.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

he Secretary-General is also concerned by what appears to be a spike in violence over the past two days. He condemns all acts of terror and violence.<\/p><\/div>\n
