"I have, of course, voted in favour of the European Parliament resolution on Palestine, even though it does not go as far as we would have liked, because it is a step in the right direction.
With this resolution, the European Parliament is calling on the Member States to speak with one voice in order to support the Palestinian people’s legitimate request to be represented as a state at the United Nations. The resolution does, however, endorse the idea of negotiations, and calls for them to be concluded during the current 66th Session of the United Nations General Assembly.
Although the European Parliament could have taken a stronger stance, for example, on the request for the settlements to be withdrawn, the legitimacy of a Palestinian state at the forthcoming session of the United Nations has been clearly affirmed.
This is one more thing in the Palestinian people’s favour. Now that they have experienced the Arab Spring, they are more determined than ever to defend their rights and freedoms."@en1
