"I am strongly supportive of a two-state solution to the Israel/Palestine question, but this has to be reached through negotiation, not provocation. I therefore abstained on Parliament’s resolution on the situation in Palestine specifically because, at paragraph 2, it supports the unilateral Palestinian action at the UN. This is a deliberate provocation and will not bring Israel and the Palestinian Authority (PA) any closer. Israel has said that she is willing to resume negotiations, but the PA has refused. Every time Israel has made a major concession in the peace process, this has been seen as a sign of weakness and the response has been further violence.
For the security and prosperity of the Palestinian and Israeli peoples, the PA must resume negotiations with the Israeli Government immediately. The EU, as one of the PA’s largest financial backers, should be using its influence to insist that the PA returns to the negotiating table."@en1
