Sergey Lavrov told the Assembly that securing Palestinian statehood is central to lasting peace in the Middle East, citing "countless UN decisions" and saying that while the Security Council approved a peace plan for Gaza nearly a year earlier, "peace does not reign there" and civilians continue to perish.
He warned that accelerated settlement activity in the West Bank would make it impossible to establish a Palestinian state and said this outcome would also leave Israel's security perpetually under threat. Lavrov urged the United Nations and all member states to "think outside the box" to counter negative trends in the region.
