"Mr President, first of all I want to welcome the ceasefire that was announced in Gaza yesterday, and I call for its full implementation by both sides. This means that there should be no rockets from Gaza into Israel – on the one hand – but it also means that Israel needs to stop its bombardment of Gaza and also ensure that there are no extrajudicial assassinations by Israel.
But we need to ensure that the ceasefire leads to a lasting peace, otherwise we will be here again in a few months or in a few years. That is why I was particularly happy to co-sign and sponsor this motion, which sets out a roadmap for a lasting solution. It calls for an end to the Gaza blockade, and it reiterates EU support for the two-state solution, recognising Palestine’s right to statehood and also acknowledging that Israel has the right to live peacefully within its borders.
I was particularly pleased with the vote today recognising Palestine’s bid for UN membership. I call on all EU Member States to acknowledge the vote in the European Parliament, and to speak with one voice and support the Palestinian bid for observer status in the UN."@en1
