A statement issued on behalf of the Quartet principals, called on the Israeli and Palestinian governments to engage in direct talks, in order to resolve all the so-called "final status issues". The report calls on each side to "independently demonstrate, through policies and actions, a genuine commitment to the two-state solution."
Katika ujumbe huo uliotolewa kwa niaba yake na Mratibu maalumu wa Umoja wa Mataifa wa amani ya Mashariki ya Kati Robert Serry, Bwana Ban amemuelezea Kiongozi wa Palestina kama mtu mwenye nia dhabiti ya kuona kwamba taifa lake linapata haki zake na amedhihirisha namna alivyotayari kufikia makubaliano ya usakaji amani.
