"Well, it's a circus. We know that. We now have real negotiations on the framework of a ceasefire. The last thing we need now is to have this circus and empty declarations. And if you want to be productive, you should help Israel and the U.S. to bring the hostages back and to get rid of Hamas. That's the first thing you should do before you think about the future in the region."

"So I think today no one in Israel will even discuss it [the two-state solution]. So anyone in Israel that will consider that will be detached from reality. First, we have to bring the hostages back. Second, we have to get rid of Hamas. And then the time will come to negotiate the future."

"We expected to create enough collective pressure by the international community on Israel to stop this genocide against our people. This conference is giving the Palestinian people hope that there should be a political horizon that requires the end of this illegal occupation as quickly as possible, and allowing the State of Palestine to enjoy its sovereign independence on the land of the State of Palestine."

"We believe that civilians should not be harmed, especially children, in any conflict. And above all, we believe that these very complicated issues and conflicts should be resolved peacefully. We are ready and willing. The other side is insisting in denying our existence and our rights, and using force to kill the largest number of Palestinians, thinking that they can deny the existence of the Palestinian nation and the Palestinian state, and although we are paying tremendous amount of price, they will not succeed."

The high-level international conference for the peaceful settlement of the question of Palestine and the implementation of the two-state solution concluded its general debate at the UN headquarters on Wednesday.
An outcome document was circulated to delegations for consideration, and the conference, co-chaired by France and Saudi Arabia, will reconvene at a later date to take action on the text of the document.
The three-day conference, mandated by the UN General Assembly in December 2024, was originally scheduled for June but was postponed following the outbreak of the conflict between Iran and Israel. Several countries have announced their intention to recognize the State of Palestine, including Britain and Singapore.
Refusing to participate in the conference, Permanent Representative of Israel to the United Nations Danny Danon called it "a circus."
"Well, it's a circus. We know that. We now have real negotiations on the framework of a ceasefire. The last thing we need now is to have this circus and empty declarations. And if you want to be productive, you should help Israel and the U.S. to bring the hostages back and to get rid of Hamas. That's the first thing you should do before you think about the future in the region," said Danon.
Asked whether Israel still supports the two-state solution, Danon said, "I think today no one in Israel will even discuss it. So anyone in Israel that will consider that will be detached from reality. First, we have to bring the hostages back. Second, we have to get rid of Hamas. And then the time will come to negotiate the future."
Although representatives of over 120 countries attended the conference, Danon said it would bring no tangible results.
"First of all, they expected to have many more countries and many more heads of state, and we have seen the results. And second, I think many people, when you speak with them, they will know that nothing will happen from this conference," said Danon.
Riyad Mansour, Permanent Observer of Palestine to the United Nations, said that the conference brought the Palestinian people a hope for a "political horizon" that requires the end of illegal occupation by Israel.
"We expected to create enough collective pressure by the international community on Israel to stop this genocide against our people. This conference is giving the Palestinian people hope that there should be a political horizon that requires the end of this illegal occupation as quickly as possible, and allowing the State of Palestine to enjoy its sovereign independence on the land of the State of Palestine," said Mansour.
"We believe that civilians should not be harmed, especially children, in any conflict. And above all, we believe that these very complicated issues and conflicts should be resolved peacefully. We are ready and willing. The other side is insisting in denying our existence and our rights, and using force to kill the largest number of Palestinians, thinking that they can deny the existence of the Palestinian nation and the Palestinian state, and although we are paying tremendous amount of price, they will not succeed," said Mansour.
The Palestinian death toll from ongoing Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip has topped 60,000, with 140,000 injured, Gaza's health authorities said in a statement on Tuesday. Among the deceased, children and women accounted for nearly half.
