"Mr President, another flotilla is heading for Gaza and it is provoking passionate debate on the appropriateness, necessity and dangers of such an initiative. My impression is that the whole media storm over the flotilla – the ultimate fate of which cannot yet be determined – is, in fact, nothing but a smokescreen, designed to prevent us from discussing, in an appropriate way and with sufficient focus and responsibility, the actual situation in Gaza, where one and half million people have lived in inhumane conditions since 2007.
The situation in Gaza is not set to change for the better, and even the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is no closer to an acceptable solution now than it was five, ten or thirty years ago. The only possible solution is: a two-state solution, two countries, living in peace, mutual respect and mutual recognition.
An important step in the right direction would come if Israel restored dignity to the people of Gaza. If that were the case, humanitarian actions, such as the flotilla, would no longer be necessary."@en1
