my delegation agrees with the observations and proposals made by the Secretary-General. .z BG/l4 S/PV. 2786 64-65 (Mr. Bucci, Italy) On its own initiative, Italy has contributed to increasing substantially the means at the disposal of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), in accordance with the will of the Italian Parliament. If faced with specific needs and proposals, we would not fail to contribute to what could realistically be done to alleviate the precarious conditions of the Pales tin ians. In conclusion, I should like to reiterate that the debate on the nrost urgent aspects raised by the Secretary-General’s report is only a part of what the Council must do. The solution to the Palestinian problem is a political one. Unless we deal with that aspect the incidents which have been taking place in the past weeks will inevitably recur , as the history of the past 40 years has taught us. The PRESIDENT: I thank the representative of Italy for his kind words about me. The next speaker is the representative of the Syrian Arab Republic. I invi,te him to take a place at the Council take and to make his statement. Mr. a-MA!?RI (Syrian Arab Republic) (interpretation from Arabic) : The Security Council has convened today for the fourth time in a period of less than one and a ha-lf months to consider the situation in the occupied Palestinian and other Arab territories. This meeting has special significance because the @cUrstY COUnCil’s examination of the situation is based on a report by the Secretary- General submitted to the Council, in accordance with operative paragraph 6 Of resolution 605 (1987), and contains the findings and conclusions of the mission undertaken by Under-Secretary-General Marrack Goulding in Palestine and in the occupied Palestinian territories. . 
**Analysis**
The text discusses the situation in the occupied Palestinian and other Arab territories, mentioning the Secretary-General's report and the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA). The representative of Italy emphasizes the need for a political solution to the Palestinian problem, and the representative of the Syrian Arab Republic highlights the significance of the Security Council's examination of the situation. Given the focus on humanitarian aid, refugees, and political conflict, it is likely that the category is related to humanitarian aid and relief.
