"Mr President, the current situation in the region is both full of risk and full of hope. For me, the emergence of democratic movements among Israel’s neighbours is a cause of celebration. We must reject the racist stereotype that regards them as a threat.
I led a parliamentary delegation to Gaza and the West Bank in December 2010. The most heart-rending story was that of a little boy who brought his toys to school every day because he was not sure when he came home whether his home and his family would still be there.
That child’s parents want peace. Every member of the PLC that we met, both in the West Bank and in Gaza, wants secure Israeli and Palestinian borders based on the 1967 green line. They also want the settlements to stop. It is incomprehensible that Prime Minister Netanyahu has refused appeals from all of Israel’s allies to stop the settlements. Simply to stop them. Not to dismantle them. To stop them.
It is necessary, in order for serious negotiations to get under way, for those settlements to stop. I would appeal to Ms Ashton to ensure that that appeal goes again to the Israeli authorities: to please stop the settlements and get the talks going.
We must support the efforts of President Abbas and Prime Minister Fayyad to peacefully lead the Palestinian people to a Palestinian state. We do not know what the consequences will be if we do not do that soon."@en1
