lpv:translated text	"Mr President, since the last debate on the situation in the Middle East, which took place in this House in May, the political horizon has become more than disheartening. Less than an hour’s flight away from my native Sicily, the tragedy of two peoples with which we share friendship, history, culture and trade is continuing along its inexorable course. President Arafat is still enclosed in his headquarters, which have been reduced to a miserable cement hut, deprived of freedom of movement. Islamic terrorists continue to stain the cities of Israel with blood, striking at the civilian people without discrimination. We all agree in Europe on the need to create two free, sovereign states, and we all agree that this is the only way to restore peace in the Holy Land. How much credibility can Europe claim, though? My countrymen ask me: ‘How much credibility can you expect to have, as Members of the European Parliament, how can you expect us to become genuine supporters of Europe if Europe continues to sit still, defenceless, in the face of genocide which is taking place only a few miles away from us? How can you fail to convene a major international conference involving the European Union, the United States, Russia and the United Nations, as called for by the High Representative for CFSP, to discuss the Palestinian question and the creation of two States?’ If economic measures are not matched by political, diplomatic action, the European Union will not succeed in freeing the two peoples from the tyranny of hatred. We must ensure that the European Union both embodies and is seen to embody genuine practical action, unity and accord."@en1
