"This joint motion for a resolution, tabled pursuant to Rule 110(2) and (4) of the Rules of Procedure, replacing the motions by the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats), the Group of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe, the Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament, the Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance, and the European Conservatives and Reformists Group, concerns the situation in the Gaza Strip, where the conflict between Palestine and Israel has now dragged on for over a week, resulting in over a hundred deaths and hundreds of injuries, in addition to all of the inherent property damage. I welcome the ceasefire agreed after several failed attempts, and I hope that this will be sustainable and allow an understanding to be reached between the parties to the conflict. The imminent analysis, by the General Assembly of the United Nations, of Palestine’s request to be granted UN observer status may have been at the root of the conflict. However, nothing justifies this violation of human rights. Israel has a right to protect its people, but it also has an obligation to respect its neighbours. I support the Commission’s proposal that the EU should continue helping to find a solution, which will obviously entail the recognition of Palestine as a sovereign state. I urge the parties to allow the available assistance (food, water and medicines) to be provided to vulnerable families through the humanitarian corridors."@en1
