why is it important:

• The presidential declaration is a symbolic product at a less binding level than the Security Council's decision on which a vote is held.

  However, the statement was supported by all 15 members of the Security Council, including the US. This is the first time in nine years that a statement of this type has been published on the Israeli-Palestinian issue.

• The publication of the presidential statement was a compromise reached by the US, Israel and the Palestinians following a campaign of heavy American pressure on both sides to prevent a vote on a resolution in the Security Council.

• The Americans wanted to prevent a vote so that they would not be forced to veto a proposed resolution that reflects their positions on the settlements issue and feared that even if they vetoed the conflict at the UN would lead to an escalation on the ground.

What they say:

• "The Security Council reiterates and emphasizes that continued construction in the settlements endangers the ability to implement the two-state solution based on the 1967 lines," the statement said.

  "The Security Council calls on all parties not to carry out unilateral measures that harm peace, such as the expansion of settlements, the expropriation of Palestinian lands, the establishment of illegal outposts, the demolition of Palestinian homes and the displacement of Palestinian residents from their places of residence."

• In a statement to be published today, members of the Security Council condemn "any act of violence against civilians, including acts of terrorism".

  The Security Council calls for strengthening efforts to fight terrorism in accordance with international law and calls on all parties to "clearly condemn terrorist acts and refrain from incitement to violence".

  The announcement states that the Security Council reminds that the Palestinian Authority has an "obligation to renounce terrorism and act against it".

• "The Security Council calls on all parties to maintain calm and restraint and to avoid provocative measures, incitement and inflammatory statements, with the aim of curbing the escalation on the ground, building trust, demonstrating commitment to the two-state solution and creating the necessary conditions for peace," the statement said.

• In the presidential announcement it was further emphasized that the status quo must be maintained in the holy places in Jerusalem.

  It is also written that the Security Council is committed to a two-state solution and that Israelis and Palestinians have a right to equality in everything related to freedom, security, prosperity and justice.

• Meanwhile, the Prime Minister's Office responded for the first time to the understandings with the Palestinians that led to the postponement of the UN vote: "Israel informed the US that in the coming months it will not settle new settlements beyond the nine already approved. Israel has not committed to stopping the demolition of illegal buildings in Area C."

Behind the Scenes:

• As part of the understandings reached between the parties, in exchange for the postponement of the vote in the Security Council, Israel undertook to suspend for a few months the approval of planning and additional construction in the settlements, to suspend for a few months the demolition of Palestinian homes in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, to suspend for a few months the evacuation of Palestinians from their homes in Area C and to reduce the IDF raids to the Palestinian cities.

• A source privy to the details of the understandings said that the United States has pledged to the Palestinians that Palestinian Authority Chairman Abu Mazen will be invited to a meeting with President Joe Biden at the White House next year in exchange for postponing the Security Council vote.

• The Americans also committed to the Palestinians to submit an official request to Israel for the reopening of the American consulate in Jerusalem.

  The Americans raised the issue in the past in talks with Israel, but never submitted an official request in a diplomatic letter.

  Israel is expected to refuse the American request, but the move has symbolic importance for the Palestinians.

• Also, Israel agreed to make some changes in the areas of taxation at the Allenby Bridge that will flow more than NIS 200 million annually to the Palestinian Authority.

• The source stated that the Palestinians agreed to start and implement the security plan formulated by the American security coordinator, General Mike Fenzel, for the Palestinian Authority to retake Jenin and Nablus.

  To date, the Palestinians have evaded the implementation of the plan.

• • The Palestinians agreed to start talks on renewing the security coordination with Israel that was frozen a few weeks ago.
