• We remind once again that violation of the historical and legal status quo of Jerusalem, which is the cradle of the three monotheistic religions, and its Holy Sites is unacceptable.

• We need to conjugate the international and regional efforts, aimed at creating conditions for resetting direct negotiations of Palestinians and Israelis in the framework of the negotiated principle of two states, Israel and Palestine, living side by side in peace and security and in the borders of 1967.

• We are convinced that direct dialogue between the two sides should be carried out under energetic assistance of the Quartet as the only internationally recognized and UNSC-endorsed mechanism for the Middle Eastern settlement.
