"Mr President, the situation is serious, as Commissioner Ferrero-Waldner has said. Yes, the Israeli army is back in Gaza, yes, the Palestinians are in a dramatic humanitarian situation, the victims of the murderous deadlock into which they have been led by Hamas. We certainly support the emergency aid announced by the Commissioner. Yes, the Israeli reaction which has deprived half of the inhabitants of Gaza of water and electricity is disproportionate. Nevertheless, Israel has no intention of reoccupying Gaza. This great crisis could end tomorrow if the terrorist movements were to release the young soldier captured and stop firing rockets into Israeli territory, like the one last night on a school in Sderot. One constant concern is the possibility of the conflict in the region undergoing a sort of ‘iraqisation’: kidnappings and executions of hostages, such as that of 18-year-old Eliahou Asheri, which hardly anybody has mentioned, who was shot in the head because he was hitch-hiking in Jerusalem. Only a return to diplomacy will control this radicalisation and extremism, this policy of making things worse in order to achieve one’s ends. France and Egypt are currently in the best position to find a solution which I hope will be imminent for Gilad Shalit and for the Palestinian people. I would like to reassure Mr Davies by stressing here that, for each of us in this House, a Palestinian life is worth as much as an Israeli life. I believe that it is extremely unfair and inappropriate to put words into our mouths like that. Our dearest wish – which is unfortunately little more than a dream – is to see Europe work together on this issue in order to achieve a return to the negotiation table."@en1
