lpv:translated text	"Mr President, we have reached yet another crossroads in the peace process. A great deal will depend on the forthcoming elections in Israel. Whatever the outcome, we must call for the new government – whoever the winner may be – to continue the peace negotiations without delay and to do so with renewed energy and, if possible, intensify these negotiations. It is a unique moment for the European Union to gain influence and importance during these talks, given the current situation in the United States, where the new administration has probably not been fully established. It is our duty as the European Union to reinforce our position in the peace talks, in view of the exceptional interests – mainly humanitarian – which are at stake, in view of our geo-strategic position that region and in view of our important mutual trade relations. The most recent wave of violence and terror must be condemned in any event. The demand for repatriation of the 3.7 million migrants will definitely not make the peace talks easier, nor will the distribution by the Palestinian authorities of schoolbooks which, instead of preaching the language of reconciliation, preach the language of hatred and animosity, or Arafat’s tough stance in Davos, for that matter. Despite this, I would express the hope that peace and stability in that region can as yet be achieved in the relatively short term, but I would add at the same time that it would be extremely regrettable if the European Union had not contributed to this in a major way. It is a test of our credibility at international level."@en1
