"I voted in favour of the joint motion on the EU policy on the West Bank and Jerusalem in spite of the fact that this resolution does not fully represent my views. The EPP, ECR and EFD did not sign the joint motion for a resolution and had indicated they would vote against it. Given the balance of forces in the European Parliament, there was a real danger that the joint motion would fall. This would have represented an endorsement of the aggressive and unacceptable settlement policy of the Israeli State. The settlement policy consciously aims to create facts on the ground that would effectively rule out the possibility of Jerusalem becoming the joint capital in a two-state socialist solution. Unfortunately, an amendment passed that aims to blame Hamas for the situation in Gaza. I reject this view. The state of Israel is the occupying force and its siege of Gaza needs to be lifted immediately in order to end the humanitarian disaster. I reject the policy of individual terrorism by Hamas that targets Israeli citizens but I defend the right of the Palestinian people to self defence and to resist against the ongoing occupation."@en1
