By the terms of the resolution \u201cAssistance to the Palestinian people\u201d (document\u00a0A\/76\/L.25<\/a>), the Assembly urged Member States, international financial institutions of the United Nations system and other relevant organizations to extend, as rapidly and as generously as possible, economic and social assistance to the Palestinian people. \u00a0The Assembly also called on the international community to provide urgently needed assistance and services to alleviate the difficult humanitarian situation faced by Palestinian women, children and their families, and urged Member States to open their markets to exports of Palestinian products on the most favourable terms. \u00a0The Assembly also asked the Secretary-General to submit a report to the body at its seventy-seventh session on the text\u2019s implementation, which assesses the assistance received by the Palestinian people, their unmet needs and specific proposals to respond to the same.<\/p>\n

Statements<\/u><\/p>\n

\/…<\/p>\n

AIDA SAFURA NIZA OTHMAN (Malaysia<\/u>),…It also agreed to a predictable long\u2011term contribution of $1\u00a0million over a period of five years to Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵRWA, in support of the Agency\u2019s relief efforts to the Palestinian people.<\/p>\n

\/…<\/p>\n

ABDULLAH M.A. ABU SHAWESH, observer for the\u00a0State of Palestine<\/u>, cited the latest United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia report, which noted that that the COVID\u201119 pandemic struck an already weakened Palestinian economy. \u00a0Furthermore, the report indicated that customs tax and the value\u2011added tax collected by Israel for the Palestinian National Authority represent up to 75\u00a0per\u00a0cent of the Palestinian revenues, and that the fiscal stalemate with Israel over clearance revenues weighed heavily on the Palestinian economy.\u00a0 In that regard, he called on the international community to compel Israel to end its repeated practice of withholding taxes and customs revenues owed to the Palestinian people.\u00a0 Meanwhile, United Nations agencies and programmes which continue to provide vital assistance to the Palestinian people, are helping to mitigate the serious challenges they face in the context of more than half\u00a0a century of foreign occupation, he said. \u00a0The situation has long been deemed unsustainable and requires not only urgent humanitarian remedies, but diplomatic, political, and legal mechanisms available for States, to compel Israel to cease its war crimes and human rights violations.<\/p>\n

\/…<\/p>\n

Actions on Draft Resolutions<\/u><\/p>\n

\/…<\/p>\n

The Assembly also adopted without a vote the draft resolution \u201cAssistance to the Palestinian people\u201d (document A\/76\/L.25).<\/p>\n

\/…<\/p>\n

Right of Reply<\/u><\/p>\n

\/…<\/p>\n

The representative of\u00a0Iran<\/u>, stressing that Israel continues to violate the rights of Palestinians and Arabs living under its occupation, said Palestinians have been deprived of their land, forcibly evicted and subjected to violence and intimidation. \u00a0As the international community continues to address the impacts of COVID\u201119, Israel is accelerating its illegal settlements to further its occupation.\u00a0 The blockade on the Gaza Strip continues to deepen the severity of the humanitarian crisis there.<\/p>\n
