lpv:translated text	"Mr President, President-in-Office of the Council, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, once again the horrific images from the Middle East have shaken us all. More than 35 children were among the 140 victims in the Gaza Strip; six people have been executed as alleged Israeli collaborators; a number of Israeli citizens have also killed by hundreds of rockets made in Iran; there has been an attack against civilians today in Tel Aviv; 45 000 reserve troops have been mobilised; and a ceasefire seems to have been confirmed, or so Mr Cohn-Bendit has just told me, after frantic diplomatic activity: mediation by the President of Egypt; phone calls by the President of the United States; visit to the region by the Secretary-General of the United Nations and US Secretary of State; involvement of the Arab League ministers; French-Qatari plan; and threat of a resolution on Syria in the United Nations Security Council. Of course, Mr President, in this case words are not enough as the situation is so serious. There is a great deal of impotence and frustration after the trite condemnation of the Council of Ministers the day before yesterday, and I believe that the most important thing is to achieve, and consolidate, a ceasefire that is guaranteed by the United Nations, and that protects the civilian population and supports the moderates. We saw the alternative, Mr President, in 2008: 1 400 victims. We are only too aware that the circumstances are not the best: fragmentation and division within the Palestinian cause, elections in Israel in January and, of course, a nuclear escalation in Iran. Therefore, President-in-Office of the Council, what Europe must do is support unreservedly this ceasefire to prevent the worst from happening. However, we must not fool ourselves, Mr President, into thinking that there can be stability in the area, stability in the region, unless we tackle the deep-seated causes and injustices that are fuelling the hatred and violence in that troubled part of the Middle East."@en1
