lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, we support the legitimate demand of the Palestinians for their own state, recognised by the international community, as well as Israel’s right to exist. However, one thing is clear. Long-term peace and prosperity for Israelis and Palestinians will only be achieved by means of an agreement. Therefore, both sides must return to the negotiating table without delay. Time is running out. The European Union must exert appropriate pressure, including on the Israeli Government, so that it will finally keep its promises, which it only ever makes in a vague manner. When we see the former Israeli ambassador in Germany, Avi Primor, clearly say in an interview today: ‘Benjamin Netanjahu has been promising a two-state solution for two years, but he is not doing anything about it, and the extreme right-wing coalition party in his government blocks everything that is on the table,’ then we also have to say that the ball is now in the Israeli Government’s court. It needs to take action at last and must not continue to fob the Palestinians off. It will get us nowhere if once again we are told that it is to be put off again, because then we will still be in the same position in a year’s time. I believe that raising the status of Palestine in the UN, as has also now been done for the Vatican, is urgently required – Mr Kasoulides spoke about this. This is an important step, but without negotiations we will not achieve a lasting peace process in the Middle East. However, a request and a clear statement by the European Union are necessary. Israel must now take the next step of its own accord; otherwise it will not achieve peace."@en1
