UNSC Presidential Statement on Occupied Palestinian Territory: A Crucial Step Towards Peace Facilitated by the UAE

UNSC
 

The recent adoption of the United Nations Security Council Presidential Statement opposing unilateral measures in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, with the support of all Council members, marks a significant step towards promoting peace and security in the region. This important decision was facilitated by the United Arab Emirates, which currently serves as an elected member of the Council.

The statement affirms the Council's commitment to the vision of an independent Palestine living side by side with Israel in peace, and reiterates the danger posed by continued Israeli settlement activity to the two-state solution. This is a crucial message that must be heeded by all parties involved in the conflict.

The Presidential Statement also condemned all acts of violence against civilians and called on all parties to condemn acts of terrorism, refrain from incitement to violence, and pursue accountability for all acts of violence targeting civilians. The Council's reference to discrimination, incitement, and hate speech is particularly noteworthy, as it acknowledges the role that these factors can play in fueling conflict.

The UAE's leadership in facilitating the adoption of this statement demonstrates its commitment to promoting peace and security for all. This is a welcome reminder that, in a world that often seems increasingly divided, dialogue and diplomacy remain powerful tools for resolving conflicts.

It is now up to all parties involved in the conflict to take heed of the Council's message, and to work towards a peaceful resolution that recognizes the rights and aspirations of both Israelis and Palestinians. This will require compromise, good faith, and a willingness to engage in constructive dialogue. But the adoption of the Presidential Statement offers hope that such a resolution can be achieved, and that the people of the region can finally live in peace and security.

India,China hanging by the cliff, Can they afford a trade war?

India and China are barely holding on their own but what will happen if these countries go on a trade war? Indian has already banned 51 of chinese applications. The picture of a full blown trade war does not look nice. The deadly broder battle between both the countries last month has left the countries sour and has led to taking some drastic measures from both the ends. While India took an aggressive stance against China, the most populous country seems to be in no mood for retaliation. Chinese officials last week said that they were "strongly concerned" about the app ban, for example, but they did not threaten any kind of retaliation. And on Friday, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stressed that the two countries should work together, adding that barriers to cooperation "will harm India's interests." But given the interests of both the countries in line, India has more to lose. China has been a critical tarde partner for India and as of last
