All those actions should be taken within the framework of the U.N. Charter, as a matter of principle.

Ban Ki-moon

Sushma Swaraj

The international community must make pressure on Israel to recognize our right to get freedom, to fight against occupation, to have real peace, legitimacy on our ground. If the international community obliged Israel to do that, then they can come to us and ask us to take our step.

Khaled Mashal
