While looking at the empty seats here in the Security Council chamber, I cannot avoid asking, where are all those delegates who had made today such emotional appeals and called on the Security Council to act ? 

Why couldn't the delegates from Kuwait, Indonesia, Namibia, Senegal and Iceland sit here and follow this debate until the end of it? 

With such heartbreaking statements I think that they should have stayed with us during our important discussion. 

Madam President, 

In her remarks earlier the Lebanese delegate quoted from different UN reports. I would expect the Lebanese delegate to first read the recent Secretary General reports on the implementation of SC resolutions 1701 and 1559.   

Perhaps Lebanon should consider toning down its rhetoric and turning up the heat on Hezbollah's terrorist activities.  

Hezbollah has built an arsenal of 120,000 rockets in populated areas south of the Litany River and all over Lebanese territory. 

By operating within civilian populations and directing attacks against civilian populations, Hezbollah is committing a double war crime. 

But I must say that I was once again touched to hear the representative of Lebanon show such an interest in Palestinian rights.  

Though I would suggest that instead of empty words, her government should take a look at the Palestinian refugee camps throughout Lebanon, 

Where Palestinians are kept in some of the worst conditions in the region. They are subjected to violence, discrimination, oppression, and marginalization from every sector of society.

Madam President, 

I found it interesting to hear an Iranian delegate talking about Israeli occupation, while Iran is the main occupier in the Middle East today, including in Syria and Lebanon! 

The Iranian Revolutionary Guards is a terrorist entity, responsible for the murder of tens of thousands of civilians in the Middle East and terror attacks around the world. 

In Lebanon Iran is the chief sponsor and supplier of illicit advanced weapons to Hezbollah, in blatant violation of Security Council resolutions 1559 & 1701.  

Iran and its proxies - be it the  Assad regime, Hezbollah, Hamas, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad - are a threat to International Peace and Security. 

Madam President, 

Only in the Parallel universe of the Middle East Open Debates can a Role model like Saudi Arabia attack Israel while acting in full impunity and killing  tens of thousands of civilians in Yemen while creating a humanitarian catastrophe in the region.   

But it is very easy for Saudi Arabia to focus on the situation in my country and  echo empty concerns for human rights while hiding the fact that today Saudi Arabia carried out its first barbaric execution after a pause for Ramadan by beheading one of its citizens. 

This latest beheading brings to 103 the number of executions in Saudi Arabia  so far this year, a sharp increase on the 87 recorded executions during the whole of 2014. 

Madam President, 

With regard to the lengthy conspiracy theories we heard earlier from the delegate of Venezuela.  I understand that the same culture of conspiracy is also used for daily and systematic persecution of political activists and opposition in Venezuela. 

Malaysia does not hesitate to support Hamas terrorist organization in this chamber, it should  be emphasized that Malaysia's support to Hamas is carried out also on the ground. Hamas trains terrorists on Malaysian soil, with the full knowledge of the Malaysian authorities. Hamas terrorists were recruited and sent to Malaysia for week-long parachute training, in preparation for a cross-border kidnapping attack in Israel.  

The support provided by a Security Council member to a terrorist organization, is an obstacle to the resumption of peace negotiations and to the improvement of the lives of those that Malaysia claims to care about.     

Thank you Madam President.
