FA – XCVIII – 3 The Government of the State of Israel refers to Resolution 12 and footnote 5.R1b in CMR15/501 (R3) and would like to reiterate the position expressed by Israel's Ambassador to the UN on November 29th, 2012, in the context of the adoption of General Assembly resolution 67/19 as well as in the Security Council on January 23rd, 2013, that resolution 67/19 does not confer statehood on the Palestinian Authority, and that Israel, as many other States, does not recognize such a state. Israel voted against General Assembly resolution 67/19 and General Assembly resolution 68/235, and its position on these issues has not been changed. Accordingly, Israel regrets and objects to the use of the misleading terminology \"State of Palestine\" in footnote 5.R1b in CMR15/501 (R3). The outstanding issues between Israel and the Palestinians, including telecommunication related matters, can only be resolved through direct negotiations, as has been affirmed repeatedly by the international community and agreed between the Parties. 4 Should any Member State or entity act toward any interest of the State of Israel in a manner which violates the State of Israel's rights as a Member State of the ITU, or breaches such Member State's obligations toward the State of Israel as such, the State of Israel reserves its right to act toward such Member State in a reciprocal manner. 118 Original: English For Portugal: In reviewing the declarations made by the Member States of the Union and contained in Document 457 of the World Radiocommunication Conference 2015, namely the declaration No. 52 of the Democratic Republic of Algeria, the delegation of Portugal reserves for its Government: – the right to enter further declarations or reservations at the time of depositing its instruments of ratification of these revisions of the Radio Regulations; – the right to take any action it may deem necessary to safeguard its interests should any Member State of the Union fail in any way to comply with the provisions of these Final Acts, or should reservations made by other countries jeopardize the smooth operation of its telecommunication services.
