Thank you, Chair. And I'll make my right of reply to the two uh items we discussed today. This committee's work as it as is at its core about development, guided by cooperation, partnership, and shared progress. These are the principles that should shape our discussions and our decisions. And it is through these lenses that we must examine Examine the items before us today. We should ask ourselves: do they advance peace and development? Do they encourage cooperation? Unfortunately, the answer is clear. The two resolutions we just discussed do not contribute to stability and peace in the Middle East. Today discussions drove it further away. Some of the statements we have heard deepen division and polarization instead of healing them. After two years of war, we have to look forward with the with determination and hope to rebuild. To strengthen and to lead with a vision of peace and development. The last month, since the convening of the peace summit, held on October 13th in Shah al-Sheikh, Egypt, and the signing of the Declaration for Enduring Peace and Prosperity, which aims to achieve stability in the region, has brought much needed relief from fighting. We must support the ceasefire. We must ensure it holds. As of today, Hamas has still not held up its end of the deal and still holds the bodies of four hostages. Rango Eli, who was twenty four old twenty-four years old when he was murdered, loved motorbikes and was a dedicated soccer fan. Many Goodard, seventy-three, a grandfather, grandfather from kibbutzberi, a lifeguard who loved the ocean. Dr O, forty eight, a father of three, whose wife was also murdered on October 7th, and two of his children abducted and later released. And Sue Adik Ritanak, 43, A Thai national who came to Israel to work in agriculture in order to support his his family. He was murdered on October 7th and his body was taken onto Gaza to the Gaza Strip. He was one of 49 workers from Thailand who were murdered on that horrible day. We eagerly wait for the return of their bodies so that their families can bury them with dignity. Chair, at our northern borders, there are also changes. Israel will continue to insist that the ceasefire agreement with Lebanon be fully enforced. If the Lebanese armed force take the necessary steps Steps to implement the disarmament of Hezbollah, Israel will engage in mutual measures in coordination with the United States. Such steps steps will guarantee a safer, more stable future for Lebanon, Israel and the entire region. The people of Israel, the people of Gaza, the people of Syria, the people of Lebanon, and all of the people of our region deserve to live free from terror, to build lives grounded in peace, stability, and opportunity. We ask Member States to consider whether to they wish to contribute to these efforts or stand against them. I thank you.
