''Despite the many resolutions by this Council, the United Nations Security Council along with other bodies, the situation in Palestine was deteriorating,'' Al Za'abi told the 16th session of the Human Rights Council, Geneva; on the general debate on the human rights scenario in Palestine along with other Occupied Arab Territories: ''The United Arab Emirates requested the international community to compel Israel to implement the recommendations of the fact-finding mission into the incident on the humanitarian flotilla. Concerning the report of the Committee of Independent Specialists, the United Arab Emirates known as on the Council to compel Israel to lift the blockade of Gaza, quit with the illegal settlements, and withdraw from East Jerusalem and from the occupied Syrian Golan,''he added.

Throughout the general debate speakers said that the Middle East and the world had been witnessing an essential transformation with potentially historic consequences. The question that everybody outside the Council was asking was whether or not the winds of change would also blow in Israel and also the Occupied Palestinian Territories, injecting the a lot required oxygen and energy to the efforts to achieve, at long last, a just and comprehensive peace, or would this conflict continue to defy the lessons of history, humanity and international law.
