"Mr President, I voted against this resolution because to my mind it is not impartial. Unfortunately, the resolution is too anti-Israeli, and does not look at the overall situation.
I think that we, the European Union, also failed inasmuch as we ought to have prevented European Union nationals from getting on those ships, as the objective was obviously just to provoke, to enter a closed-off area where an international sea blockade was in place. We all know what that means under international legislation on sea blockades.
As I watched various television channels, it became apparent that, regrettably, that ship was merely intent on a strike against Israel and raising Hamas’s profile. Given that, there is no way we can stand behind this type of action that supports terrorism; instead we have to stand up for democracy, human rights and freedom of opinion and defend the democratic state of Israel and its right to exist."@en1
