"I should like to thank the President-in-Office for his response. I know it is difficult to come back to this question again and again. However, you will see that my question was submitted at the end of February. Like my colleague, Mr De Rossa, I did not have time to speak in the House yesterday.
There comes a time within a negotiation when the kid gloves must come off, when action must be taken. The European Union delegation was given a kick in the face by the Israelis by not being allowed to meet with the necessary parties to try to start a dialogue and bring it around. We have to be more vocal in our support for the right of the Palestinian people to have their own state, whilst at the same time guaranteeing the right of Israel to its security. None of us could agree with or condone the suicide bombings which have taken place over the last number of weeks. But likewise it would be wrong of us not to strongly condemn the reactions taken by the Israeli forces. Until such time as both sides can be brought together to work out a solution then peace will never arrive. Peace can only be built on parity of esteem, where there is respect for the territorial integrity and the rights of each group.
I urge the President-in-Office of the Council to utilise what are obviously the good offices of the Spanish presidency to bring about that solution."@en1
