The Palestinian envoy to the United Nations tells the Security Council that Israel must choose between its presence in the West Bank and peace.
“Israel, the occupying power must choose between occupation and peace, the two are mutually exclusive,” says Riyad Mansour during the Security Council debate on “the Palestinian question.”
Mansour says Israel “must prove their commitment to a two state solution.”
He also calls on the Security Council to implement the December 23 Resolution 2334, which lashed Israel for its settlements policy, calling Israel’s civilian presence beyond the pre-1967 Green Line a “flagrant violation” of international law.
“2334 is the way back from the brink,” he says.
