"Mr President, let begin by thanking High Representative Mogherini for the hard work that she is putting in to find a solution to this terrible problem in the Middle East. One hundred and thirty-five countries, including many European ones, have already recognised Palestine. Recently Sweden and the parliaments in the UK, Ireland and Spain followed suit. While this is progress, it is saddening that it took over 2 000 Gazans to die in the latest Israeli attack for Europe to start acting. Every nation deserves to be recognised, and the Palestinians have suffered immensely.
It is a huge disappointment that the EU vote has been delayed. Every second wasted costs innocent lives. The greatest threat is the illegal settlements in Palestine, which continue to grow without account. The two-state solution is the only real chance for peace, putting both on an equal footing. Israeli citizens believe this too, and an Israeli petition in favour of this has been publicly handed over outside Parliament this evening. The EU must have a coordinated approach to ensure peace and security and stability for all. It is time to give the Palestinians some hope. I urge all of us to take the bold step forward and vote to recognise Palestine."@en1
