A/HRC/38/15 119.5 End the illegal blockade of Gaza, investigate all allegations of war crimes and crimes against humanity committed during its military aggressions in Gaza and provide full reparation to the victims and their families (State of Palestine); 119.6 Comply with international laws by immediately ending its 50 years of colonial occupation of the OPT and apartheid policies against the Palestinian people (State of Palestine); 119.7 Halt immediately the colonization and attempted annexation of Palestinian land, the construction and expansion of Israeli settlements and their associated regime, the forcible transfer of Palestinians and the demolition of Palestinian homes and structures (State of Palestine); 119.8 Dismantle the illegal wall and the related infrastructures located inside the OPT and compensate Palestinians for all of the losses incurred due to their presence (State of Palestine). 120. The recommendations listed in paragraphs 119.1–119.8 were noted as they have been submitted by the “State of Palestine”. Israel considers that the use of the term “State of Palestine” in United Nations documents to be procedural in nature only and was adopted pursuant to a technical Palestinian request that its delegation be referred to by this name, following the adoption of General Assembly resolution 67/19. It does not and cannot indicate any recognition of statehood, and is without prejudice to the substantive question of the legal status of the Palestinian entity. Israel further considers that the Palestinian entity does not satisfy the criteria for statehood under international law, and, like many other States, does not recognize it as such. 121. All conclusions and/or recommendations contained in the present report reflect the position of the submitting State(s) and/or the State under review. They should not be construed as endorsed by the Working Group as a whole. 24
