Israeli Ambassador Ron Prosor's 24 April 2013 Remarks to the UN Security Council

Open Debate on the Middle East April 2013


Statement by Ambassador Ron Prosor

Mr. President,
 
Before I begin, I want to extend condolences to the people of France following yesterday’s bombing of their Embassy in Libya.  We also extend our condolences to the American people following the attack in Boston last week.  Our prayers are with the victims, families and citizens of both countries. 
 
I want to congratulate His Excellency, Ambassador Eugène Gasana, and the delegation of Rwanda for their leadership of the Security Council this month. 
 
Mr. President,
 
Last Tuesday, the State of Israel marked 65 years as a free and independent homeland for the Jewish people.  On that historic day six and half decades ago, the leaders of the new Jewish State issued a Declaration of Independence. It affirmed (and I quote), “We offer peace and unity to all the neighboring states and their peoples, and invite them to cooperate with the independent Jewish nation for the common good of all.”
