lpv:translated text	"− Once again, I am happy to welcome you to our November plenary, and I can open it with an announcement which comes as good news to us all: hundreds of Kurds being held in Turkish prisons ended their hunger strike yesterday. I am relieved that this 67-day-old protest has ended before any human lives were lost. As you know, I wrote to the Turkish Justice Minister urging him to listen to the hunger strikers’ demands. I am delighted that the Turkish Government has acceded to the strikers’ demand that use of the Kurdish language be permitted in schools and in the courts. Therefore it has acceded at least to some of the demands made of it, and has introduced a bill on use of the Kurdish language in court proceedings before parliament. That is an important step, with regard to us too, because the European Parliament has long been voicing that same demand. Ladies and gentlemen, like all of you, I am sure, I was greatly saddened to hear of the deaths of Palestinian and Israeli civilians. On behalf of this House, I expressly deplore the escalation of violence between Hamas and Israel. I emphatically urge both sides to eschew violence and exercise the utmost restraint in order to prevent further escalation and more deaths. It is always the civilians on both sides who pay the highest price for this vicious circle of aggression and recrimination. The European Parliament supports all diplomatic efforts to secure an immediate ceasefire. Therefore, may I remind you that, on Wednesday afternoon, the plenary will be debating the situation in the Middle East."@en1
