At the General Assembly debate on the Question of Palestine, Ambassador Riyad Mansour said: "Everywhere in the region the same policy, land grab disguised under security pretexts. In Palestine, in Lebanon, in Syria. This is a recipe for perpetual occupation, perpetual bloodshed, perpetual war, instead of shared peace, shared security, shared prosperity.""
