their policy of driving the Arab population out of Pales- tinian territory, of undermining the economy, the national culture and the educational system of the Palestinian people, and of imprisoning thousands of Palestinians. 80. The extension of Israel’s land-settlement policy, which is contrary to international law, is cause for grave concern. The establishment of a growing number of Israeli settlements in the occupied Arab territories is an essential part of the policy of de-Arabization pursued by Israel’s ruling circles, Also, the debate here in the Council con- firms anew the fact to which many representatives have alluded repeatedly and for a long time: that Israel is sys- tematically pursuing a policy aimed at the final annexa- tion of the Palestinian territories. The process of the “creeping annexation” of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip has already made considerable headway. 8 1. It has also been repeatedly ascertained in this forum that Israel’s policy of terror and violence is not only a permanent threat to security and stability in the region, but also a great threat to world peace. 82. No attempt of any kind to exculpate Israel from this charge can veil the facts. Not even giving honour and glory to certain reports in connection with the crimes commit- ted in the refugee camps of Sabra and Shatila can make us ignore the fact that Israel has been conducting a relentless extermination campaign against the people of Palestine for decades. 83. It is also well known why Israel’s ruling circles disre- gard the world public’s demand that they stop imme- diately their policy of aggression and occupation. Israel is encouraged to commit new acts of aggression and to tighten its rCgime of occupation by the unlimited eco- nomic, political and military support of the United States.
