lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the abandonment of the path of dialogue and negotiations has brought terrible consequences all round. Violence does not bring justice, it does not put wrongs right, it does not address the root causes of a problem. There are appalling violations of international law and human rights constantly taking place in the Palestinian territories at the moment, and the international community must stop this, as it must stop the madness of terrorism which is leading young people to sacrifice their young lives for a cause which, far from benefiting their own people, makes more innocent people victims and gives the leader of the Israeli Government the excuse to declare unilaterally outright war on the Palestinian Authority, its structure and members, starting with President Arafat. One important development is that we have succeeded in organising a meeting, to take place tomorrow in Madrid, in which the United States, the European Union, Russia and the United Nations will, at last, be able to focus their efforts in the direction – it is to be hoped – of immediately sending an international peacekeeping force to the region which will be able to enforce the ceasefire and put an end to all the violations of rights. In order to bring about compliance with the series of resolutions adopted by the UN Security Council, to bring about the immediate, total withdrawal of the Israeli army from the occupied territories and the release of President Arafat, we must put all possible pressure on the Israeli Government, not least placing a question mark over the EU-Israel Association Agreement. The establishment of a sovereign Palestinian State, together with an international effort guaranteeing Israel’s security in line with the progressive position recently adopted by the Arab League, must remain our objective. To this end, we will continue to support those who are fighting, even at this tragic time, for peace, for mutual respect, to bring about the peaceful coexistence of the two communities in both Palestine and Europe. Moreover, we must reiterate, with greater vehemence, our condemnation of all acts of violence and intolerance committed against symbols and members of the Jewish community."@en1
