lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, coupled with the election of Hamas, the vote in Israel will have a defining influence on the prospects for peace in the Middle East. The Israeli election was widely regarded as a referendum on unilateral action to establish permanent borders. However, 25% of the vote clearly does not give Kadima such a mandate and, even if it could garner additional support in the Knesset, a unilateral withdrawal from the West Bank and the unilateral setting of borders not in accordance with the 1967 borders cannot be a solution. Only a peaceful, negotiated settlement can address the legitimate and long-standing concerns of the roadmap process. All parties must pursue a path of positive engagement, as set out by the Quartet, which includes talks with the new Palestinian Authority. It is no easy thing to expect the international community to engage with those yet to renounce violence, but until that time comes, we have no alternative if we wish to move forward. Give them an alternative to hopeless violence and a reason to rise to the challenge. Alternatively, make their situation worse and they will simply dig in more. If a constructive relationship with the EU and international pressure can bring Ariel Sharon from his early political career to the legacy he has given to Kadima, this surely proves that positive engagement can shift seemingly zero-sum mentalities."@en1
