The New York Declaration has provided a peaceful and just pathway towards peace. Statehood must mean peace, recognition must mean a real chance towards lasting peace. It must be a real peace for all sides, for all parties.
Distinguished Excellencies,
We commend the leading states of the world that have taken this principled step: France, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, Portugal, and many other leading countries of the world have taken a step on the right side of history. The recognition of the State of Palestine is the right step on the right side of history.
To those who have yet to act, we say: history does not stand still. We must recognize Palestine now. We must stop the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, ending the war must be our utmost priority. We must overcome hatred, fear. We must overcome suspicion. We must achieve the peace that is necessary for the human family. We are ready to take our part in this journey towards peace. We are willing to provide peacekeeping forces.
Thank you very much. Peace, peace now, peace immediately. We need peace.
Thank you very much.

Yang Mulia Presiden Republik Prancis Emmanuel Macron; Yang Mulia Pangeran Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud, Menteri Luar Negeri Kerajaan Arab Saudi selaku ketua bersama pertemuan terhormat ini; serta Para Perwakilan Terhormat dari Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa (PBB).
Izinkan saya menyampaikan apresiasi terdalam dan penghormatan setinggi-tingginya kepada Pemerintah Prancis dan Kerajaan Arab Saudi atas kepemimpinannya dalam menyelenggarakan pertemuan penting ini.
Dengan hati yang berat, kita mengingat kembali tragedi tak tertahankan yang masih berlangsung di Gaza: ribuan nyawa tak berdosa, banyak di antaranya perempuan dan anak-anak, telah terbunuh, kelaparan mengancam, dan bencana kemanusiaan tengah berlangsung di depan mata kita. Kita mengecam segala bentuk kekerasan terhadap warga sipil yang tidak bersalah.
