"The credibility of the United Nations had already been tarnished by the Security Council’s persistent deadlocks on Syria. The international community’s inability to bring an end to the serious escalation of violence in the Middle East appears to have buried it. Despite the death of at least 140 people – 135 Palestinians and 5 Israelis – in a week, the Israeli raids continue, as do the Palestinian rocket attacks on Israel. According to international law, the Gaza Strip is part of a Palestinian State that does not yet exist. This non-status allows Israel, and Egypt, to do what they want with it. That is the first problem. Gaza’s other problem is a political one. Since the legislative elections of 2006, won by Hamas, who took power by force the following year to the detriment of Fatah, the Gaza Strip has been governed by the Islamist movement. Yet, in the eyes of the international community, the Palestinian enclave continues to be administered by the Palestinian Authority, the principal component of which is Fatah. I voted in favour of this text, even though I would have liked to do a lot more to stop the shedding of Israeli and Palestinian blood."@en1
