"Mr President, thank God our political group is fully united in one clear position: full support for the Commission and Council decisions. Allow me to use this opportunity to thank the Commission very much for consulting us and cooperating with us almost every day in this very particular situation.
We fully support the Quartet and the roadmap – the Quartet because of Russia. We have to make one thing very clear: this is not the consequence of fully democratic elections, but a failure of the Palestinian partner to recognise a legal base for mutual financing to recognise the Oslo, Paris and Cairo agreements and, of course, to recognise the State of Israel. We have to be here with humanitarian aid and here I support the position of our group. Our European aid should be visible and I deeply doubt that the United Nations Relief and Works Agency is actually a good thing to bring European visibility. We have to try to find another tool.
Financial supervision and international control mechanisms are of paramount importance, and here we will follow your intention and we will support you. We know that EUR 165 million has already been paid to Palestinians, so we have not stopped helping, we are there, and I think the Commission should be more vocal about the fact that we have paid the money to support the emergence of a viable Palestinian state.
Where are we now? We are in a position in which the Muslim Brotherhood pilot project Hamas has to turn to Iran to beg for money, making Saudis and Egyptians furious. This is a great success, because it leads to deep cleavage within Hamas and we are already weakening Hamas. However, we need to strengthen Palestinian liberals, we need a European initiative for democracy and human rights, and an international financial human rights tool to help the Palestinians strengthen moderate, liberal political parties."@en1
