"I would like to talk about the Geneva Accord and tell you that, like Jimmy Carter and Nelson Mandela, both former Presidents and winners of the Nobel Peace Prize, the European Parliament must welcome and support the initiative launched by Yossi Beilin and Yasser Abbed Rabbo, who proposed a peace plan between Israelis and Palestinians on Monday, 1 December in Geneva. I believe that this is a courageous and symbolic act that highlights and reflects the hope of the vast majority of Israelis and Palestinians of living in a world of peace and mutual solidarity. As Kofi Annan said, this plan does not take the place of the UN proposals. Similarly, it is not for us to provide an exhaustive, line-by-line commentary on everything that it proposes. The key element has been retained, namely the creation of a Palestinian state and the rejection of all forms of violence, especially suicide attacks. We must support a strong signal at a time when certain people in both camps are virulently opposed to this peace plan. They must be provided with a genuine lesson in peace and forced to move beyond hate in order to live together. I regret that the Council is not present. The urgency is all the more evident as the Iraqi crisis is only serving to amplify the problem. I think that it is time to offer a generation of Palestinians and Israelis a genuine future, and a generation across the world the capacity the politicians have of ensuring that they can all live together with greater success."@en1
