"Mr President, a comment before I start: this debate has the title ‘Situation in Gaza’. More faithful to the facts, more balanced, however, would be the title ‘Situation in Israel and Gaza’. This is because it was the rain of Hamas rockets and related jihadist terror groups on Israeli soil that led to this most recent violent outbreak in the Gaza conflict. The entirely legitimate defence of Israeli citizens’ lives and property was and is at issue. Add to that admiration for the disproportionate resilience on the Israeli side before this escalation: two indispensable elements for Parliament’s resolution in my opinion. In these darker days I pray for real peace in Jerusalem, for both Jews and Palestinians. I therefore expect all the European institutions to adopt a responsible position in the long drawn-out Gaza conflict. The main point is that our position must be to fundamentally oppose all forces in the Middle East that deny Israel’s right to exist and threaten Israel to this day. A forceful European message is especially desirable today for Hamas’s protectors, Egypt first of all, Qatar and Turkey."@en1
